@quickseller, good idea (blazed) --  i will get around to that.
You can try that, yes. A certain someone tried it a lot of times, but ultimately it does not work.

more important things are going on today Smiley
Do you, by any chance, mean the planned attack by BITMAIN? I've just neg. rated them.

 a fork is an attack is Bitmain is doing it, but its not if its led by puke junior.

right?
Luke Jr is a developer, not a miner.

I fail to see why anyone should support a single private company creating a new chain.  If they want to "ignore short-term economic incentives" to mine on their new chain, they will end up with >51% hashrate and the chain will be susceptible to 51% attacks from BITMAIN.  This is blindingly obvious, because most pools will not ignore economic incentives.

Community has been asking for big blocks for years and how bitcon was always supposed to scale back to the original whitepaper.  Honesty requires accounting for that context and not making it sound like a 'private company is just creating a new chain'. 

Other pools already signaling for big blocks will undoubtedly mine the big block chain.

Segwit will collapse.
