Block Digest #7 - No Consensus2x - Segwit2x Pull Request Locked Down Again Following More Heated Debate

Welcome to episode #7 of Block Digest! (Wednesday, August 23nd 2017) #CORRECTION: https://youtu.be/r_ERa8K_eKg?t=2m23s -The language of the pull request was vague its explanation, and my breakdown here is incorrect. Re-reading, it seems the OP_RETURN flag will be invalid on 2x chain _by consensus_. The implication of this is that wallet software for the original chain would be the software required to implement this feature to protect users from replay attacks. -Shinobimonkey Join us: https://bitcoinmumble.com/ Credits ======== Shinobius - https://twitter.com/brian_trollz Chris Ellis - https://twitter.com/MrChrisEllis Aknix - https://twitter.com/rm0rf Blake Anderson - https://twitter.com/BitcoinBlake Inline Producers Steve - https://twitter.com/MrHodl Janine - https://twitter.com/J9Roem Links ==== Segwit2x forced to lock conversation on replay protection again after more heated debate https://github.com/btc1/bitcoin/pull/117 https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comm... https://medium.com/@rusty_lightning/t...
