This is not an attack, this is just the miners working out a way to increase transaction throughput on the block chain. Maybe they will go with the Bitcoin Unlimited plan or maybe they will end up going in a different direction. We'll have to wait and see. They're not doing this to attack Bitcoin, that's ridiculous. They've spent millions of dollars investing in mining equipment and they will do everything in their power to keep the price of bitcoin high. Calling this an attack is just pure nonsense.
- Dylan16807 10y agoNobody is calling Bitcoin Unlimited itself an attack. It's the measures they might take to prevent a fork that would be an attack. An attack on the fork.
- 6nf 10y agoBitcoin Unlimited IS a fork, why would they try to prevent a fork? I don't understand what you're saying.
- Dylan16807 10y agoThe entire basis of the article is wanting it to not be a fork. If they have a majority of miners, they are in theory able to set the rules for actual bitcoin.
