Lets assume in the future there will be a BTC fork that raises the op-return vbyte limit. Lets also assume the global companies, money managers, 401k’s holding the ETF’s etc are all pushed into the newly forked btc with the huge op-return limits.
What happens to the original side of the fork that has a current limit of 83 vbytes op-return? Will the miner be able to choose what fork to mine? How will this play out?
I think it comes down to what pool you mine with mate and their settings. Some pools like Powerpool will mine the most profitable coins at that moment in time and switch between btc, bch and so on. You could find a pool that only specifically mines a coin of your choice, or you could solo mine a coin of your choice if you set it up
ok here is a question for the OG’s. If you were holding btc way back before the bch fork happened, what happened on the day of the fork? At that time was it required to pick a side, move, or convert?
