Well I just think you are being pedantic here. It is true to say at the time of Classic activation, there is exactly 25% miner opposition as measured over the last 1,000 blocks. It is also true that there will be no significant statistical measure demonstrating actual miner support significantly greater than 75%, although it is possible that more miners switch to Classic in this short period, there will not exist enough evidence to support the claim of the switch at the time.”Roger_Murdock” said:To review, no, Classic does not "lock in 25% miner opposition at the time of activation"
Now let me just remind you again, in light of the recent ETH/ETC situation, why Classic is such a bad idea.
- ETC survived, despite having only c1% miner support at the time of the hardfork. Bitcoin Core will have c25% miner support, (although in theory there is a remote possibilty it could be lower than 25% due to an uncharecteristic sudden and lucky move, no evidence of this will exists)
- ETC built up a strong market price, despite a lot of uncertainty at the start. With Classic/Core, due to the previous example, speculators will be ready to buy Core coins
- Core has a massive asymmetric advantage over Classic, as soon as it has the lead, Classic coins vanish from people’s wallets. This will put a huge amount of fear into the minds of Classic holders, making Classic very weak in the market
