Ok so this is what I meant earlier when I asked if his coins would be “incompatible”. I thought there had been small changes to the network over time but I wasnt differentiating between soft and hard forks.

Yeah, that’s not easy to understand at first.

Two books I would recommend on the subject:

Inventing Bitcoin by nostr:npub1fqn4fgzkk8nm2x3wd600n935c9tc7xgg9jhk5dfa0kuvrgvsyv7sgu536l

The Blocksize War by Jonathan Bier

nostr:npub1h8nk2346qezka5cpm8jjh3yl5j88pf4ly2ptu7s6uu55wcfqy0wq36rpev recorded both of them on audiobook, they’re outstanding.

Inventing Bitcoin is a must read. It’ll increase your technical understanding tenfold. I got through it in a flight from Chicago to Tampa. The knowledge gained to time spent ratio may be the highest of any Bitcoin book out there.

Thank you for the kind words!
