RE: Soft fork vs hard fork (technical).

in HiveDevs10 months ago

Ah, yes. Perhaps I misinterpreted your explanation of Progressive vs. Conservative nodes. I interpreted that as a potential attack vector, wherein Progressives (running new code) might try to inject blocks into the chain that would not otherwise be allowed (by the old code).

Sort:  

It is actually the other way around - Progressives want stricter rules (more regulation 😀 ). The article talks about what would happen if Progressives tried to introduce such change with a "soft fork" (as described in Investopedia definition linked at the beginning) without official hardfork. And the punch line is that such definition does not fit Hive.

Thanks for the clarification.
