I agree,, but for ABC to think this war is over is weak minded. This war has not started. ABC changed the protocol "for the defense of the people" how many times will they?
hahaha, I know it's so brazen. Coin flip on weather Jihan comes in to prop up the ABC corpse. The big names declaring victory so soon do a huge disservice to their followers.
Most people don't give a rats butt about the hash war. All they care about is using BCH. Which right now you can't do if they are on an exchange or coinbase.Cart is waiting on Purse.io
Most people are ignorant of the situation, and the damage is a problem. What if you paid in BCH on ABC but your payment later gets reversed or doesn't exist???
Yes. Most people don't understand blockchain. And if it's money, they shouldn't have to worry about if they are going to lose their money or not. This is a major problem.
ABC has hard-coded a fork like this for every 6 months. If miners don't like their changes we'll get the same situation we have today. Basically, if ABC wins it'll be a dictatorship.
The major reason for a fork every 6 months is to scale. They need to do it as quickly as possible so it's ready for adoption. Developers need to do a better job of agreement.
That's a myth. People must let go of the concept that they need to run a "node" at home and let miners and larger institutions run backbone quality servers(like SN said).
Then why does CSW say they need to keep scaling until they get to no limit?
CSW has been saying over and over for years, miners need to be running $20k state of the art server nodes connected to backbone quality internet. If you can't afford it, join a pool!
Uncapping the block size is not controversial to any miner who is committed to ABC long-term. Keeping the block size capped so that we can "scale" IS controversial to a lot of miners.
So then why is CSW so adamant about going to 128 MB instead of just uncapping the block size now?
I'm not 100% sure but I think there needs to be a bit of a code re-write to get it completely off. Could also be an excuse for one more hardfork to get the last of the old opcodes back
The fastest internet in the world can download a terabyte in .03 seconds. To scale, there needs to be a "race to the top" for processing and internet speeds, not just hashing power.
I agree, damage is being done. I expected huge gains in crypto this year, now I am putting that off for 2 or 3 years. 2021 looks good.
The worst part is that they declare victory but don't really explain how they did it, they changed the protocol !!! how do people not understand that this breaks the whole system.
if you change the protocol one then you will do it again..
