I personally support any updates which make BCH more "cash". If canonical ordering could help in efficient block propagation, it makes BCH more "cash". And I don't care the OP_code.
replied 2070d
There will be no fork. Plain and simple...

If Bitcoin ABC activates OP_CHECKDATASIG and OP_CHECKDATASIGVERIFY with no consensus, will it end in a chain split?

Technically, ABC can not activate anything, only miners can, buy running that code. And I do not think miners are so out of their mind to split the chain. They will negotiate more.

I can imagine some pro-Core people waste some hashrate just to create a split
replied 2067d
I wish them good luck with their irrational decision to waste money like that. Maybe they can recoup the loss from their cult followers who will buy the coin out of a sense of duty?
replied 2070d
People call it a hard fork but it's really just an upgrade. There will be no new coins. The upgrade is scheduled for Nov 15th

I will vote by running full node software and I will run Bitcoin Unlimited.
replied 2061d
I just switched to BU as well so I can follow the majority chain if there is a split.
replied 2042d
I assume you both have some hash power behind those full nodes.......

replied 2042d
No, I do not need it. I use my full node for other purposes.
replied 2042d
I have no hash power.

miners before dev.
its to early for canonical transaction ordering imo. not well understood
replied 2071d
Why can't one support both?
Barricade
replied 2070d
I wonder the same, as both aren't incompatible. Of course, more research is needed to convince other devs and miners.

That means you don't care.

Isn't BTC and BCH already enough of a headache?
anarchovegan
replied 2023d
How so? I don't want BCH to split. I care about being able to maintain BCH as one coin, and doing both when feasible. Can one and then the other be done?
replied 2070d
Imo focus on adoption & removing the BS limit, so BCH can function as global money, I don't see how lexicographic ordering will help long term, devs have enough OP's to play with now.
homopit
replied 2070d
Canonical ordering helps in efficient block propagation (graphene), so that BCH can function as a global money. Don't look so narrow, all parts of this system are interconnected.

That said, I still do not want a change like this until it has been shown, with a sample implementation, to be an improvement.

fork bitcoin candy and try xD

replied 2070d
It is implemented in ABC. Can now be tested on testnet.
replied 2069d
testnet is not the same as live operation

Bitcoin Candy or testnet, no big difference. What is the live operation of Bitcoin Candy? 10 tx per day?
