RE: SIACOIN SC NEWS ALLERT!!

in #siacoin7 years ago

Genuine question, why would we sell before the fork? Aren't there coins to be had? I understand why the price would fall after the fork and so timing a sell will be crucial. But shouldn't we attempt to gain from the hard fork? Just curious! Thanks for the news!!

Sort:  

there is no new coin associated with this uncontentious hard fork. There are two types of hard forks: contentious and uncontentious. A contentious fork (not this) is created when a development team forces the fork and pledges to back the older blockchain thus creating a newer coin for the newer fork. An uncontentious hardfork happens when the programming code updates and there is no development team willing to take on and back the old pre-forked blockhcain thus there is no need for a new coin representing the newer fork.

Gotcha. I appreciate you taking the time to show me that!
