From the linked post: If you're a merchant: please stop processing transactions until the chains converge. Is this real? This is like data processing slapstick comedy. I'm imagining the scene where someone steps into a boardroom and says this to Jeff Bezos. "Don't worry, I'll pay you back out of my salary. Wait, how many transactions per second did you say?" When a Bitcoin company puts up a job ad asking for devops engineers: flee in terror.
