Udi and friends can posture on twitter all they want.
Soft forks require economic majority of nodes to run.
If we do get CAT at all it will likely be in the GSR but severely neutered.
And that's if we can even get the GSR through which would be years from now.
Soft forks only require a majority of hash power to run. Enforcing a soft fork with a minority of hash power required an economic majority.
The only way an economic majority can reject a majority of hash power enforced softfork is with a hard fork.
Anyone is free to create forks of bitcoin at any time. Miners and companies learned what happens if you go against nodes in 2017.
2017 was an economic majority enforced soft fork with a minority of hash rate. Today the threat is hash rate majority soft fork. The only way for economic majority to stop it is with a hard fork.
LOL, majority of hashrate? Which miners have confirmed support for CAT?
Not sure, haven't been following closely. I'm just countering the assertion "Soft forks require economic majority of nodes to run." It only requires hash rate majority, which can be forced by economic majority without hard fork. It can't be stopped by economic majority without hard fork.
>It only requires hash rate majority
This is incorrect as the UASF has proven.
>It can't be stopped by economic majority without hardfork
This is incorrect as well, to stop it the economic majority would simply not run the SF.
Hmm that's not how a soft fork works. Soft forks are invisible to non-consenting nodes. The UASF forced all hash rate onto the soft fork. There's no way to force majority hash rate to *not* enforce a soft fork by running a node without new hard fork rules.
Ah I get what you mean now. What I'm saying is there's no way that majority hashrate would risk a HF over CAT.
