Successfully sold my first chunk of bitcoin-jr (BJR AKA BTCB2). First split it from BTC using @npub1v4v5...xwu8’ splitting tool: Then sold for BTC on NeoxEX: Use both the wallet and exchange at your own risk (I only did fairly small amounts), but it does work.
The testnet forkwar to determine PoW algo for Bitcoin-jr is more exciting than the BIP110 fork war itself was tbh.
Bdashers decided to use a testnet block header to randomly determine the proof-of-work algorithm for their forkcoin, but now testnet has been forked and they don’t know what to pick. (lol)
Just in case the Bdashers’ wipeout argument does stick around: Bitcoin nodes can always reject the BIP110 chain even in the *extremely* unlikely scenario that it would overtake the Bitcoin chain at some point, by running bitcoin-cli invalidateblock 0000000000000000000169eb6f811ddbd0daf343af7b62180cdb13e7c78dbc16.
BIP110 can as of now no longer be activated through hash power signaling. The "mandatory signaling" window starts next week, which practically speaking means Bitcoin Knots nodes will stall and/or fork off-- unless basically all miners suddenly decide to adopt this nonsense after all.
