Agree with all TLT :-)
but if Algo change is done without BCH ABC and others, we risk splitting to a new name & ticker
if algo change is done with consensus,rivals will mine old chain
Indeed. To do a successful algo change majority of the non-mining players and users have to upgrade including the exchanges.
Especially the Exchanges. Otherwise the miner and Exchanges stay on the old chain and keep BCH ticker.
Exchanges most of the time will follow the main devs.
Devs that control the git get control of the name and ticker.
this. Also, monero proved that no one will give a shit about the "old-miner" branch if everyone else upgrades.
It's the same with any hard fork upgrade.
The irrelevant amount of SHA256 hash would just move back to BTC.
Hurdles will be there, but they can be overcome eventually....something must be done long term before eco warriors turn against mining too.
