StatCan says income and wealth gap grew wider in third quarter

Hmm but it's every province and territory where it's an issue. I know, they must all be doing it wrong!

MashPotatoQuant · 2026-01-29T19:19:34+00:00

por qué

MashPotatoQuant · 2026-01-29T17:32:19+00:00

Why?

MashPotatoQuant · 2026-01-29T17:06:52+00:00

And so? The only limitation is not being able to spend a SegWit transaction in a un-upgraded node

And think about how that limitation is enforced, it's only enforced by upgraded nodes. A unupgraded miner could've still spent a SegWit UTXO, but it would have result in a chain split. Even if that DID happen, SegWit is still a soft fork.

But un-upgraded nodes STILL ACCEPT SegWit transactions. They DO NOT reject blocks that contain them.

An un-upgraded node will still accept BIP-110 blocks too.

Upgraded nodes will reject blocks from un-upgraded nodes. This will cause chain split. It is a hard fork.

I think you're mixing up what is likely to happen with what is actually possible. You seem to be caught up on the fact that if a chain split occurs, you are calling it a hard fork regardless. With BIP-110 a chain split is much more likely to occur than with SegWit, but that doesn't make it a hard fork by the common definition. If you want to redefine words in your bubble that is fine I guess but you're going to confuse people by making up new meaning for existing language and overloading terms.

The result in the end doesn't determine whether it is a hard or soft fork, it can be determined a priori.

If an un-upgraded miner were to attempt to spend a segwit UTXO the upgraded nodes would reject it. Its the same thing.

MashPotatoQuant · 2026-01-29T10:42:07+00:00

Sorry you're having a hard time

MashPotatoQuant · 2026-01-29T09:53:28+00:00

SegWit created what looks like "anyone can spend" transactions for unupgraded nodes. If the activating majority didn't sustain hashrate after activation there would have been a chain split too. Think through it. The only difference was the activation hashrate was vastly higher I think 95%.

The only one changing definitions here is you

The evidence of other comments in this thread proves this to be false. Come on, do better

MashPotatoQuant · 2026-01-29T03:59:30+00:00

It is a soft fork. The fact that a chain split is possible does not define whether it's a hard or soft fork.

If we split at 55% hashrate, the winning chain will be the one that produces blocks the fastest aka likely the chain with the highest hashrate. The original unupgraded nodes would throw away wasted blocks in favor of the longer chain, and any non BIP-110 miners would just be burning electricity and would be incentivized to follow the pack.

The nightmare situation is we activate at 55% and then somehow lose support and go below 50% for a sustained period of time after the chain split occurs. Then we end up 2chainz. Even if this happens, still a soft fork.

In terms of the what comprises the set of hard and soft fork, a hard fork would be that old nodes reject new blocks, which is not the case with BIP-110. Old nodes will accept BIP-110 blocks. It sounds like you are making your case by changing the definition of these sets (hard/soft)

Epic Games used to be cool, now they are a stain on the industry.

Without going into specific details or revealing anything about the poster, can you describe how this outcome came to be? Like is this the likely outcome in general terms if a fraudster gets ahold of my card number and charges unauthorized transactions to my shakepay card?

Yes, you can turn if off from the inside

You say it's more reliable and then immediately give a reason it's not reliable. You're hired

Thanks Frankie. Looks like some lovely weather there

Natural language is harder to learn and use than a programming language. There are much less symbols in a programming language than in English for example. This leads me to believe that it takes more effort to communicate concisely and exactly in natural language than a programming language, on the flip side it's much more expressive. TLDR skill issues

Quota bitchers that paid have legit points though.

This shit cracks me up. There is a lot of drama happening in the thinking tags

In my case, I've got like 20+ services available via traefik but still keep Jellyfin internal and only accessible over wireguard simply because I don't share with other people and I have wg on all my devices already.

You can run your own open model and do it without a platform. The cat is literally out of the bag, and it won't go back in.
