- 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 threats that is lame as fuck and will probably fail

Sounds like C. W. all over again
Now way this is going to work
Why can’t everyone just chill

The basis of the legal issues are nonsensical but also this change doesn’t solve for them in any case.
In the case of the reactive activation of this soft fork and chaotic chain reorganization: How am I supposed to trust that op return was used for large sized illegal content without viewing the illegal content. Suddenly you expect node operators to examine data and decode it to reveal illegal content? The very act of doing so making them far more legally liable than simply routing encoded data. And the alternative is that node operators have to simply trust me bro?
I’m reject bitcoin cashjr and the insanity of this proposal.
- Soft fork with consensus could still result in a chainsplit (but maybe very short period of time)
- Chainsplit created by soft fork is NOT meant to be permanent.
- Nobody is talking about hard fork
- Nobody is trying to PUSH this softfork with legal thereat. (Stop taking sentences out of the context and improve your reading comprehension skill)
- On that note, feedback has been provided by @Bitcoin Mechanic to change the language
Good job being CORECUCK

Justify claiming Luke is threatening anybody with legal action. Pointing out CSAM is a legal risk in general does not qualify.
Do you have inside info about legal threats?
Bitcoin is anarchy
legal threats does fuck all
Luke seriously needs to fuck off.
Imagine this in all caps
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're right.
Will most certainly fail
BSV went to zero because huge blocks, and refusal to implement the lightning fixes in Segwit, are how a smart person designs a blockchain
