Nice straw man Greg. Where does it say that https://poolbeta.bitcoin.com/login is a "classic" mining pool? You have no idea what clients we are testing with on TEST NET.
Wait a second. I read the whole thread. Ver's answer is kinda bullshit. If you read the thread and look at his pool's blocks, he was flagging blocks as BIP 109 compatible. He was also mining on Bitcoin Classic's testnet. But he was really running BU. So he forked the testnet (he had the most hash power but was mining an invalid chain).
I would echo Greg here: What exactly was he testing?---That he could break everything by flagging support for BIP 109 but not enforcing its rules?
Oh, that's because he was running BU.
Now you see why BU flagging support for protocols it does not support is dangerous. But hey, if Classic/BU can break Classic testnet, why not put it on mainnet, right?
