with my no knowledge of how this works, if there are over 200 witnesses and the problem today was bag in the fork 20 that some updated to, why did all went to s**t? should not there be some kind of mechanism that says "ok you 30 are not working because of some kind of bug, lets see what are other 200 are up to" ?
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
The blockchain halted and it needed to be forked back to a previous block, which has nothing to do with 30 witnesses not working as expected.
ok it is probably out of my league of even logicly trying to understand, so i would not bother you with questions as you probably have better things to do.
thanks
No worries. To explain it simply: there was a bug that froze the blockchain, because it didn't know what to do. On the one hand, it should allow a specific transaction but on the other hand it shouldn't allow a transaction (because of HF19 & HF20 have different rules for that).
thanks. but should not there be something that says, well the old rules worked till now, and most of the servers are still on old rules so lets find someone with HF19 and do like that? or am i just over simplicating it :D
