A rope? very outrageous.
You forgot to mention that most forks that we are seeing nowadays are just created to grab money and a fast rich scheme for the developers, they just keep 10% of the project and they now have a lot of money for themselves.
Anyway, forgive me for talking about this, it is just that i wanted to express it here, lol.
I'm waiting for someone to invent a "rope". You take the existing blockchain, and weave in the new additions that have compatible transactions. This wouldn't be a way to avoid exchanges, as it would be a completely new coin.
All the forks should be really punished, i dont know why a lot of people are still buying them on exchangers, like bitcoin cash, bitcoin gold, bitcoin DIAMOND.. came on, this was just a crap just like the one called super bitcoin was..
