A soft fork until core, and knots have enough divergence to become hard forks.
Discussion
They won't. If they do, knots will fail in a few months when the economic majority decides what the real bitcoin is. Just like bcash.
Knots has about ~20% of the user base of Bitcoin, it is better to keep the hashing power in "Bitcoin" "core" rather than cause a hard fork where we lose hashing power.
Less PoW happening on Bitcoin makes it more vulnerable to block reorganizations, and 51% attacks.
The blockchain is not vulnerable to a 51% attack or reorgs. Doesn't really matter what happens imo. I wrote an article about it if you check habla.news
If possible do you mind sending me the whole link to it?
Just finished reading it.
Pretty interesting stuff, I wasn't aware of previous hash drops outside of China bans.
