I didn't pay too much attention to this and considered it a dead project from the start, but after a talk with a few friends last night about what they are planning and what they are, I arrived at some conclusions, be they right or wrong, so just to get this right and not live with a misconception
- Luke Dashjr intentionally faked the target difficulty at the start, knowingly, so their chain could catch up with Bitcoin by pumping two weeks of blocks in 3-4 days, and probably 7 days for the next one, as he has some spare gear he hasn't yet forced onto the network, so he can claim his chain is gaining supporters.
- He and BM forced the smaller block size to make the chain look full of transactions when the capacity is actually down 70%.
- The replay protection was not about him thinking his coin is Bitcoin, but to allow transactions to be picked up by their chain too and not look empty.
If I'm mistaken on the last in some technical thing, just correct me, and there's no need for the rest.
My question is: what happens if I create a valid transaction on the Bitcoin chain but invalid on BIP110, and I send, let's say, X satoshi of dust to 100 addresses of exchanges, casinos, etc. that I know thy auto sweep their balances and consolidate inputs, do those consolidate inputs automatically become invalid on the BIP chain?
Would this kind of "poisoning" start to I don't know how to say this invalidate all further generated transactions from an exchange and forking this completely if done by hundreds of users?
Not that I'm planning to do it, but I was a bit annoyed to check their mempool and see 20 pending transactions to my wallet on their chain.
