By "pre-signed" transactions you mean ones still in the mempool? Actually not a problem, with the change to the ten opcode those would succeed on the correct chain.
Bitcoin has forked, by the way, August was a soft fork, and it has had a couple hard forks in the past.
What's new is that 2X is an attack fork. (Maybe "assault fork"?)
Sorry if my response seems pedantic, I am agreeing with you.
- kobeya 9y agoNo, I mean locktimed transactions, or chains of transactions as you see in payment channels. Doing a mandatory change to how signatures are calculated invalidates all of these constructs, potentially burning coins (if people lock-timed them to the future) and certainly breaking the security of all existing payment channels.
