what a silly fool. having a different implementation EG bitcoin ruby, bitcoinj, bitcoinxt bitcoinBU bitcoincore.. are not "altcoins".
Ok so then you have your diversity.
Why are you blaming Core when you already have the diversity and the possibility of having different implementations.
Just go a head fork bitcoin and see how much support it gets...
Oh but you wont because now you blame Core again for monopoly and not having enough consensus to hardfork...
It's just circular logic you are using...
So for the next 20 weeks there have to be brave 10% of miners spending electricity
Moderate Probability = Inevitability.
So the probability must be very low, otherwise it will eventually happen (in the near future). It's not easy but it's possible, and that makes me uncomfortable
The probability of bitcoin hardfork should be the same as breaking ECDSA. That would make me sleep well at night.
