This is to inform that to use Birthday Hash Collisions, the block has to be entirely restructured (a.k.a. When validating, invalidating the previous blocks thus holding the client useless to validate older blocks).
A Swap may be imminent, what is your say if a swap were to take place
Would a swap be necessary? Couldn't you just release a mandatory wallet update that forks the code with the upgraded algorithm? It might be easier and less messy than a swap.
Well, a block has x amount of elements, now the new design makes it x+y (z) so when it has to verify blocks with design x, it will try with z being the factor and x doesn't equal z , therefore invalidating blocks. I said I will try to avoid swap because of the stuff and work involved, but I am trying to avoid this problem
