I am pretty excited with the hard fork news at block 1,824,150. Hopefully everything will go according to plan.
Can someone please explain what exactly will happen here?
Do we get a new coin?
Will more coins be issued?
No and No. They are just updating the protocol. The blockchain will continue on a new chain. No new coins are being issued. The old chain will stop functioning at the time of the fork. All coins remain the same. Nothing lost, nothing gained.
