Thanks for the tip! Just staked it.

If this is the way things are, I reckon Wu & co. will burn themselves more than they did with the BCH thing.
Just for starters, exchanges don't want to deal with chains without replay protection.

I also didn't manage to sell my BCH at a price that would make me feel good, so I'm justifying myself with a half-assed hedge argument similar to this. Conspirosphere.tk, I totally agree with your point 1). Not so much with point 2), because as altcoins go, technical soundness isn't really that relevant. It's more of a hype and deep pocket whale business IMHO. So BCH might be as good as the next alt, given the support team it has.

Besides, the half-assed hedge argument has partial merit IMO: if/when BCH mining profitably keeps dropping as it is, in order to keep the altcoin from reaching quick irrelevance, there must be pumping. So the "hedge" side of the argument can be turned into "retribution" for the schemers. I wager many long time hodlers, who at the moment can't be bothered to split/move/sell their BCH, will get their asses on the move if BCH price gets interesting enough. I for one will. I've already made a couple BTC on some BCH, and I've got sell orders for another part of my stash set up at 0.5 BTC/BCH.

That's 2025! They already added 6 decimal places (20 bits actually) with the GUF (great utility fork) in 2020, after the bitcoin price surged past 150k USD - roughly equivalent to 120k 2017 USD.

Grrr. You quick lucky SOB. 
I'm still hoping for some pumping action later this year though ;-) 

Maybe someone stopped mining empty blocks?

I still have most of my BCH. I had halfheartedly decided to sell, but then the price started to go too far down for my taste. So I only sold a little, waiting for better times. I could call it a hedge or a speculative bet. There's going to be a fork in November, and a BCH halving a fortnight after that (ok, I'm exaggerating). So who knows - maybe Jihan and Ver will repump the old shitcoin. I'll be ready.

Interesting read. I can't help but be reminded of Base Commander Jack D. Ripper in Dr. Strangelove.

Of course it would, but it would be a problem only for the particular non abiding miner. All other parties would see the value of their BTC increase, even if admittedly by a tiny amount. In general, a tighter cap on programmed inflation doesn't seem to be such a big issue.

This is more serious and possibly a show stopper. Pity, because automated, mathematical retribution for spammers is every user's wet dream. I just tried my hand at the conceptual level. As someone else pointed out ("go code it, bro, or it's just fluffy talk"), there's probably little need for armchair protocol improvers.

Something less drastic could also work. Something that wouldn't fck up the "good guys" as much. I'm thinking along the lines of a coinbase penalty depending on mempool size - or something proportional to the average fee of transactions left in the mempool. The main problem I see with such a fix is that it would require a fork. Would a soft fork do? I doubt it, mainly because of the problems with non-upgraded clients.

But in the same email they also said that standing "advanced" orders (including stop orders) would be executed. Only new ones can't be entered anymore. For what's worth...

Overwhelming support behind closed doors. They could run their fork on a LAN in that room without a condom, no problem with that. I was talking about real transactions going around in the wild, on the - you know - Internet.

Quite good IMO.

I am not a BCH supporter, either. Just an accidental holder like many of us. I think the analysis by fluidjax has merit.
Can any of you keen minds see any flaw in it? I tried to find weak spots, but I didn't manage to uncover much.

This seems spot-on. A serious attempt would have included replay protection by default, from the start.

The idea seems plausible enough, but size does matter. In other words, some quantitative analysis might be useful here (back of the envelope would do). How much does it cost in USD to prop the price up by x USD? How much in BTC to prop up by y BTC? How much has been spent already approximately? Which price level would be a reasonable bait (as seen from the fisher's point of view - that is, JihanVer&co's)?

Interesting and, if guessed right, potentially concerning (mild to average worry). The thing is, from September onwards we're all waiting to usher big fresh money in via options, futures and other derivatives. Possibly the long denied ETF will make a comeback. Those guys don't want no BCH though. I think they're only going for the real thing (and possibly ether, so loved by the corporate zombies all around). This would make the fisher's job much harder, and the bait much, much, more expensive. Have you considered this?

Perhaps you are. You probably are. I hope you are. At any rate, being prepared for the worst is good, so I think this idea deserves some pondering.

Can you please ask her if she's planning to show us some boobage when BTC price starts rising again?

I really hope so. Likely targets? I'm guessing somewhere around the high 37xx's.

Been waiting for a sub-3900 dip for so long now!
I'm ready to:
1) BTFD
2) BTFD with BCH (if it stays where it is fiat-wise, and pulls up the BCH/BTC ratio)
3) BTFD

And, of course - nearly forgot to mention it - BTFD. That's obvious.

Do you think Jihan&Ver will keep pushing the BCH price up when the difficulty there skyrockets, so that miners keep on mining? I was so slow to sell and I'm losing BTC every day!

I only managed to sell a precious few BCH at 0.1956 BTC/BCH (about $790/BCH) :-(
Come on bad guys, come on! PUMP IT to $1200!!! It will be good for you!
