Title: Hard fork mean 2 coins for each 1 coin?
Post by: abercrombie on May 24, 2017, 01:45:15 AM
So, when we hard fork do we get 2 coins? 

One being the 2mb block and the other being 1mb block? 

Then we can sell the 1mb block coins off?  ;D

A (proper) hard fork, assumes that 100% of the network will follow throught, because it's the only way to guarantee that there will not be 2 competing coins, which as we all know, it's a total mess (look at ETH/ETC).

So a serious hardfork needs at least 1 year of preparation, which is a reason of why the Barry Shillbert agreement is rushed and not serious. We would need segwit SF immediately, then 1 year later, 2MB hardfork.

I think it's only a softwork that will Increase the size of the block not the hardfork that will split one coin into two but BU was somehow approve then i guess bitcoin will have two different currency that is competing with one another.
