World Crypto Network LIVE from Hacker Congress at Paralelní Polis (Day 2)
summary
Discussion focuses on how SegWit was pushed through with user-activated soft fork mechanics and miner signaling (bit9), why Bitcoin stays a conservative base layer as a secure store of value, and how the Bitcoin Cash fork behaved: emergency difficulty adjustment led to 45 be cash blocks in an hour, huge miner flipflopping and wild inflation for minutes, while BCH included replay protection so coins didn’t automatically get stolen. Covers exchanges’ headaches (Coinbase, Zappo), mining-economics attacks, and whether B2X has any released code.
