But is that a plausible scenario? Certainly *if* the concensus rules required a 99% supermajority of miners for the hard fork to go ahead, then there would be absoltely no rational reason for merchants and users to refuse to upgrade, even if they don't support the changes introduces by the hard fork. Their only choice, if the fork succeeds, is between the active chain and the one that is effectively stalled - and, of course, they can make that choice ahead of time. roy ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
