I won't be keeping my cold storage coins in a segwit address though.
None of mine are in segwit addresses.
Months ago I asked some technical questions about segwit addresses not having private keys, and nobody answered. Since then, I only used segwit addresses as entry adresses, but not as storage.
According to the doomsayers and FUDcallers, this is not going to save you.
Your coins need to be on a pre-fork/non-segwit address. Any coins you receive after the fork will most likely to have a segwit background. Since the adoption grows, the chances of getting non-segwit coins are becoming less and less. *fudcaller denied this.
Despite anonymint's retracted claim, this is indeed a possibility. To the extent that a cabal of miners can roll back the chain, all the txs in the rolled-back blocks become free txs waiting to be mined into a block again. Any within that set that are anyonecanspend txs are free to be claimed by whichever miner successfully mines them into a block. Once mined into a block, any descendent tx that has as an input the output of one of those anyonecanspend txs is invalid, and so cannot be mined. Any any descendant of that now invalid tx is also invalidated. And so on.
If they do a successful %51 attack and manage to hurt countless people, there will be a bounty for their fucking heads.
Coming up after the break.... Mark Karpeles, Trendon Shavers, James McCarthy, Josh Garza, Shallesh Bhatt all found murdered last night.
