I suppose there's actually 3 forks in scope: The Segwit chain that Coinbase is supporting, the big-blocks ABC chain that they are denouncing, and the original chain that nobody seems to want. And I think I heard rumors of a Segwit + 2MB blocks fork?
Or are the Segwit chains completely irrelevant here?
- gfody 9y agothe third fork is https://github.com/btc1/bitcoin https://github.com/btc1/bitcoin which combines segwit and large blocks, afaik they all support segwit - they just differ in how they reach consensus. I don't think anyone is pushing for no change since transaction fees and latency what they are it's pretty clear something has to change.
- nullc 9y ago> I suppose there's actually 3 forks in scope: No, segwit is an optional backwards compatible protocol extension that people can choose to use... not a fork. You can bridge an original bitcoin node onto the network using segwit and modulo segwit unrelated software bugs that just make it get stuck, it will reach consensus with the network fine.
