Doing so, however, is a pretty daunting task as you not only need to implement four different hardforks which change the consensus rules, but (ideally) you'd need to completely rip segwit out of the codebase and segwit affects around 5,000 lines of consensus code across more than 70 files. So I didn't really want to be the one to do it. 5 points posted by andythomas https://www.yours.org/content/introducing-bchd-aee6a07feb00 3587 Fri, 28 Sep 2018 16:42:00 +0000
