[Bitcoin-segwit2x] Strong 2-Way Replay Protection

[Jerry D Chan]

They *could*, if they were framing the fork as an optional new transactional network option.  But if they are framing it as an *upgrade* to the existing one, they can simply tell their customers that this is the upgrade path that they will be taking, and if they don’t agree with it, then they should remove their funds or cease to use their service.  There is no way to ‘ask’ your customers that can’t be simply sybil attacked by those who will pay for social media noise.

>>> Chain splits happens once in a while, we had a chain split three days ago, even though it didn't last as no miner built a block on top of the AntPool block since the cost of burying it deep enough to reach more than 100 confirmations so it can be sold, simply was too high.

>>> Post HF, we will get a chain split, and blocks will be mined on both chains. But the economic reality is that the non-upgraded legacy chain face a significant risk of getting orphaned/abandoned. What is a good definition of chain split? 1, 100, or 1000 blocks?
