Re: [ANN][DCR] Decred - Community Governance | Bitcoin Devs | Lightning Network
it is obvious that the coin can be cloned like any other, just copy and paste the code
The question was another.
It was about a split in blockchain as happened with eth / etc.
This is impossible in decred because the blockchain stops working without POS voting that will always be directed to only one chain.
This is interesting, although I admit I still don't understand how it is impossible to make a chainsplit even if it does indeed take more work than I assumed before.
But if you insist this is the case and the dev team agrees, I guess I'll take your word for it
Everything in Decred is voted on by the stake holders.
The developers write and test code for BOTH outcomes of the vote. In the instance where a fork would occur, Decred's governance automatically selects the code based on the outcome of the vote by the stakeholders.

That's the important bit! Without being voted on, a chain split can literally not happen. The attacker would need to have so many tickets staked such that for every block in the split chain, they were assured their tickets would be called on to vote for the validity of their split chain. This is the power of the consensus model we have in Decred, and why it is prohibitive (impossible) for the chain to be split in an eth/etc manner.
why not we remove this silly voting thats controlled by the developers and their buddies themselves lol
= total circle jerk
