- soft forks without consensus result in a chainsplit - bcash was a hard fork with minority support so it trended to zero - if your desire is to try to push through this soft fork with legal threat...

A soft fork without consensus does *not* lead to a (lasting) chain split if and when a majority of hash power mines the soft fork chain.

The non-soft fork chain will be re-org'ed out of existence every time the soft fork chain becomes longer, because non-upgraded nodes will switch to it.

If users/miners on the non-soft fork chain want to prevent this, they need to take action to reject the soft fork chain.

Luke is right about that.

you are describing a soft fork with consensus

--> "A soft fork without consensus does *not* lead to a (lasting) chain split if and when a majority of hash power mines the soft fork chain" If the majority of hash mines, the software chain, then it's kind of back-in consensus, right? Theoretically: All forks eventually *get resolved* it's a mat...
