Those at the forefront of fork arbitrage would split their coins, anyone concerned about the issue would split their coins before moving them to a key outside their control. They could keep them both. Click to expand...

From my vantage point, the hubris of the ETH chain wrt to replay has only served the interests of the ETC minority chain. Click to expand...

Those who care suffer no losses, those that ignore it are at risk, and those just peacefully hodling are hodling them both. Click to expand...

I understand your point about deterring trade... but this isn't about being convenient or clean, it's more of a [Break Glass in Case of Emergency] option. Click to expand...

Thanks for clarifying, I thought you meant SegWit's exact lock-in trigger. I didn't take your thoughts as 'demands', btw, this thread is a general one and anyone is free to make general suggestions of any kind at any time. I just went into more detail about our thoughts because my decision-making related to that had previously been restricted to private conversations (as far as I can remember, I don't feel like searching past threads).The ETH fork has shown that this is difficult and error-prone. I don't see what's wrong with making it easier for everyone to exercise their will in this regard. The exchanges seem willing to help it along, and they should, since they make money off trading.With this I fully agree, although I don't know if it was hubris or negligence.IMO they could and *should* have avoided the negative light that some can now cast on their fork.This still holds when there is fork arbitrage, as far as I can tell. Am I wrong?I think we can have a clean fork AND keep confidence in the mechanisms of the protocol.A 'Break Glass' situation to me would be a Fee Event / death spiral situation or some other such event leading to a catastrophic decline in Bitcoin reliability and price.Under such a circumstance I would not issue such a request but directly release:Just to clarify this point - I see a clean hard fork as the basis of a peaceful co-existence.It is not an aggressive act, but an act of evolution.Someone on Reddit compared it to cell division in an organism.It's the basis of life, death (the extinction of a cryptocurrency or chain) is already a present factor and hard forks don't change that fact. I do find the soft-fork salad unpalatable, but much more the political strategies employed by the current stewards at Core/Blockstream to bring about their vision of Bitcoin as a settlement layer. They lost my mandate at that point, it's back to Satoshi and his vision of scaling and forking.
