Title: bitcoin gold what you need to know
Post by: kernighan on October 13, 2017, 05:36:40 AM
the article comes from Jimmy Song, a bitcoin core developer.

While I think Jimmy is too gentle, even if you would not lose anything, it is not recommended to generate such fork to cause confusion, while almost contribute nothing. Really a ASIC resistant algorism from  Zcash is an innovation?

Interesting article, for sure.
For the hardfork, the first thing to know is : "who has the private key of my coins ?".
If I have these private keys, I am the owner of the coins.
If someone else (exchange, for example) have these private keys, I am not the owner of "my" coins.
