100 sats \ 3 replies \ @Scoresby OP 2h \ parent \ on: Supertestnet's gotcha: BIP16 also confiscated coins bitcoin
Does it have to revert all those blocks? If those outputs still exist as unspent outputs, wouldn't the split occur from the block that tries to spend them? In other words, isn't the fork latent?
If I use version 0.5 or something to create a transaction spending one of those utxos and I get miners running the same to mine it today at 928299, all the blocks between BIP16 activation and 928298 still sync for all of us, it's just that now we have a split because all the people who are running >0.6 see this new block (928299) as invalid and me and the miners who mined it do not?
(This is really just me trying to understand how this works; I agree with your points in your comment)
Well, by the sentiment of the purity discussion you're referring to, you'd still be condoning 14 years of censorship! So no. If you're a confiscation maxi, fork off before p2sh activation and you're good. Otherwise you would be as evil as you are now. You'd be a collaborator with the devil that did that. lol.
Either way, yes. You can also just hard fork on block 928299. While you're at it, I think that you should also give Satoshi's coin to CSW in that block. He really wants them.
