Why do you guys keep mining?
Roughnecks advises people to stop mining on BIP110 chain

I haven't seen you post about BCH, BSV, genesis-shitforks...

They changed consensus. It means shitfork. They plan to change PoW. It means shitcoin.

<insert they're the same picture meme>

They plan to change PoW

Does that mean they’re gonna keep mining on this chain instead of the one that’s currently longer?

reply

Yes. They have decided this is the real chain, the other one is "an attack of pedos on Bitcoin."

It's power consolidation. Probably the poorest execution of a hostile takeover I have seen in the history of Bitcoin.

That’s kinda messed up, and keeping on mining this chain seems risky to me. Isn’t there a risk of a double spend?

reply

risk of attack, same as BCH had. They need the hard fork to derisk from that. So they're gone now.

They just mined another one. Quick question: If I make a transaction now, is there a chance it could end up in a block on this chain? Is there any way to make sure which chain I’m using? And when’s the hard fork?

Yes. And you can double-spend that chain against main chain, then sell the doublespend in an atomic swap. Recommend against it though.

Is there any way to make sure which chain I’m using?

The chain you use is the chain you validate. Or, if you're a bank appreciatoorrr, the chain your bank validates. Good luck with that one, haha.

when’s the hard fork?

Yesterday I saw September 1st mentioned. Not sure though. And it doesn't matter, because we don't play with shit.
