So Dashjr’s picking Bitcoin’s new mining algorithm with a Testnet4 dice roll today.

Quick catch up. BIP-110 needed 55% of miners signaling for it. Got 2.56%. Two blocks mined on the fork and then it just stalled out.

So now the move is a proof of work change. Watch Testnet4, grab the next block hash, last character picks the algorithm off a list nobody agreed on til this morning.

One of the Knots guys said the reason for ditching SHA256d is to fire the miners, not because it’s broken.

We watched this movie in 2017. Different fight, same instinct. Small group decides the majority’s the problem and hard forks their way out. Ended in Bcash last time.

Watching this one play out live today.
