1  Bitcoin / Development & Technical Discussion / Could SEGWIT bring the mess ? on: November 01, 2016, 10:06:28 AM
Hello All,

To my opinion, an innovation like SEGWIT a this step of developpement of Bitcoin is quite dangerous.

1/ Case of a state who wants to bother bitcoin

Do you agree that if i’m ready to invest 10 M$ in mining material + electricity, i can represent a blocking minority for 1 year and prevent from SEGWIT innovation ?

It would not be very expensive for a state to do so.

2/ In case of hard fork

Would it be possible to get an « hard fork » event ? I would like to imagine this scenario.

Old bitcoins (bitcoins which have not been sold for few years) would remain in the initial system (not in the forked one) ? The value of the old bitcoins would fall down quickly.

Thank you for your answers.
