Title: Combine chains
Post by: TCW003 on November 22, 2018, 03:47:26 AM
Recently we experienced a lot of forks.
I wonder if there will be combinations after those forks? Is that possible?

It's impossible to combine all of them But it looks possible to create cross blockchain platform that will give you ability to switch from A to the B blockchain instantly. But the platform must have fully integrated from A to the B. Some platforms are still doing it right now but they have not yet done with it. It needs major cooperation.

There are certain issues that would be hard to address in merging to chains. If two coins agreed to end their chain in favor of a third coin, then that's certainly possible.

How would the issue of address collision between separate chains be addressed? And what happens to the merged chain's coin cap?
