- Cthulhu_ 8y agoWhich has its own problems; it's the equivalent of restoring a backup, and you lose the past x hours / days of all transactions. It's not something you want to be able to do in a blockchain intended for contracts or currency. And what happens to people that exchanged real money for BTC or in this case AAPL shares? It's like err, a double spend but without any winners.
- gomox 8y agoHard forking doesn't necessarily mean the newly forked chain starts from the state as it was at the time of the change you want to undo. Notably the ETH/ETC hard fork happened much later.
