Title: Tired of Eating Too Much 'Fork'
Post by: iamTom123 on October 26, 2017, 09:54:18 AM


Eating so much 'hard fork' is not recommended by the doctors and nutritionists as it can create a great imbalance in the system leading to clogging of the arteries which in turn can affect the flow of the blood and the function of the central organs like the heart, kidney and liver.

Now, in cryptocurrency, getting so much 'hard fork' can mean we would have more altcoins whose contributions to the cryptocurrency movement is not clearly defined though we are going to accept some for free. So much 'hard fork' can mean that the Bitcoin leaders are not united on what to do and the vision of where the real Bitcoin is going forward.

Is there anybody here who knows when can be the next 'hard fork' and what kind of an effect would it be to the Bitcoin cause in general? And is it good to also include some veggies mixed in 'fork'?

It was almost a good pun, but I'm pretty sure that forks don't contain any meat.

The problem isn't for ordinary users.  The problem is for wallet services and exchanges.

Exchanges keep having to add new forks just so that they can let their users withdraw the worthless coins which they feel they deserve to own.  It's a lot of effort for everyone involved and it gives unnecessary publicity to forks which can sometimes be unreasonable or illegitimate (such as in the case of Bitcoin Gold).

There's nothing ethically wrong with creating forks in general, but I think that opt-in airdrops for Bitcoin users (such as Byteball) make a lot more sense than just creating forks of Bitcoin Core software for any purpose.

Any Bitcoin developer from Bitcoin Core team involved in any of these forks? if you don't want your free coins, count on me to get rid of them for you mate.
