RE: Hard Fork Your Life (if the current “rules” suck, make new ones)

in #life7 years ago

see your post it much appreciated i just say about that..
because it pertains to blockchain era, a difficult fork (or sometimes hardfork) is a radical alternate to the protocol that makes previously invalid blocks/transactions valid (or vice-versa), and as such requires all nodes or customers to improve to the contemporary version of the protocol software. placed differently, a difficult fork is a everlasting divergence from the preceding model of the blockchain, and nodes strolling preceding versions will now not be general by way of the latest version. This essentially creates a fork within the blockchain, one route which follows the new, upgraded blockchain, and one route which continues along the vintage route. normally, after a short time period, the ones on the vintage chain will recognize that their version of the blockchain is previous or beside the point and fast upgrade to the contemporary version.
