@bascule pretty sure they can’t switch to anything without majority node agreement, which … well… yeah… -
@nzkoz they could add a new signature algorithm that could only be used to send/receive money with newer clients -
@bascule will miners pick up and validate those txns? They seem to only take block hashes as input so I assume so… -
@nzkoz you might have to wait for a newer miner to accept your transaction -
@bascule seems that’d be a deal breaker, but i guess they’re already waiting hours for confirmation anyway... -
@nzkoz might discourage people from using it at first, but wventually people will update their software -
@bascule miners are hardware now right? but I guess that’s just hashing, not the rest of the shit - 1 more reply
