In regards to the hash war. There will be a war, if nothing else than to show how Bitcoin really works, nChain and Coingeek are committed to provoking it, they believe, for they good of BCH..
How does this look?
nChain and allies are adamant, will be unmoving and not negotiate on any term.
ABC has signaled willingness to negotiate with nChain, and been rebuffed.
I submit that it will be a contentious fork even if ABC were to scrap all their plans and submit to SV's version of Bitcoin Cash. In such case, the hash war would still occur, but just over block size.
Even if all submitted to SV, BMG, coingeek and allies would force a hashwar over blocksize by creating blocks too big for anyone else to mine.
The incentive in a blocksize hashwar is for all others to orphan those blocks and divide up the transactions into smaller blocks and devour the fees, (because they can't mine or even swiftly validate such big blocks they might as well try to orphan them).
The reason for all this is fairly simple. MUCH bigger hashwars are coming, and over more important things. The ones in the game now are all in favor of BCH succeeding. The ones later will not be. Current miners must learn, be prepared, understand how to protect the coin that funds their living... or else BCH dies at a later date not too far in the future.
BU has a unique position here. Not a main party in the war, it can serve those that would switch for profit. It can provide the best telemetrics and controls for miners to wage such wars. It can become the reference client for all that is left of Bitcoin.
Anything that coordinates ALL miners, is anathema, and will be an object of the hashwar waged by nChain.
Anything that allows miners to voluntarily coordinate and also to fight against each other when betrayed is useful.
