New fork, new potential troubles for bitcoiners.

[satscraper]

There have been a lot of forks lately. Bitcoiners never seem to get any peace of mind. ^{That’s how I see it.}

The most interesting thing is that anyone can copy one of your transactions sent after the fork and send it over the new network, namely eCash. ^{It’s reassuring that the destination address doesn’t change.}

That said, the relevant anti-replay mechanism:

In short, if you don’t figure it out, you can make the mess.

Has anyone here used this stuff so far?

Yeah. For other recently forked coin, there are less risky option, such as OP_RETURN output with size above 83 bytes, send dust to uncompressed P2PK and few other approach. But honestly i would rather not mess with nLockTime when it's possible, since a mistake could make my Bitcoin cannot be spend/moved for really long time.

P.S. I think it's only problematic if you have any intention to claim and use/sell this eCash coin.

I wouldn't dare use this to prevent replaying on my real Bitcoins. If Bitcoin would accept this in the future, your transactions can still be replayed.

this eCash coin

Wait.... There's eCash XEC and eCash ECX now?

Fortunately, most of these forkcoins are worthless from day 1. The recent eCash one is traded at less than $30 on neoxa.exchange. No need to get into trouble to claim them!

Bitcoin accepts this already. I think what he meant is to create a Bitcoin transaction with OP_RETURN (>83 bytes) so that it cannot be replayed on the Bitcoin Knots chain. (Then you move your Knots with a transaction you verify that is invalid on Bitcoin.)

Yep. More useless garbage.

I'm going to fade this. I'm not going to bother looking up the price on this one, and the risk of transaction replays is way too high to consider recovering what miniscule value coins I have. I don't even know if there is any exchange that supports this. Is there though?

Agreed. This was exactly what I was thinking when I opened this thread, so I’m committed to not fiddling with this shit unless it reaches $3000-$5000. If that happens ^{which I seriously doub}t I’ll make the relevant transaction according to official receipt they published. This won’t affect my BTC, and I’ll sell my eCash.
