Am I misremembering or did the other blockchain do exactly that in response to the DAO hack?
- roenxi 3y agoCompare that to the ease of rolling back a transaction in USD. I think we'll find the cost was orders of magnitude higher.
- petesergeant 3y agoThat doesn’t sound like a “hard promise”
- ericd 3y agoWasn't that on Ethereum? My impression is that it has very different governance/promises.
- hanniabu 3y agoGovernance on ethereum is the same as bitcoin, regardless of what bitcoin maxis want you to believe
- lucw 3y agoYou need support of the miners to effect a change on bitcoin, they won't support a change which is contrary to their interests.
- Psychoshy_bc1q 3y agonot Miners, Users. The Users with their own Node govern the rules of Bitcoin. The Miners are bending to our will.
- Psychoshy_bc1q 3y agoThat was Ethereum, not Bitcoin.
- LikesPwsh 3y agoBitcoin did the same, to be fair. https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-history-part-10-the-184-billion-btc-bug/ https://news.bitcoin.com/bitcoin-history-part-10-the-184-bil...
