The narrative that they'll censor "only non-monetary transactions" lasted for exactly one month. https://github.com/bitcoinknots/bitcoin/pull/396#pullrequestreview-5136150530

No. You only have BJR if you had BTC in the first place.

Incredible.

Well your BTC are never sent to the exchange so you can kind of discount that one. (Unless you mean the BTC you buy with the BJR.)

Successfully sold my first chunk of bitcoin-jr (BJR AKA BTCB2). First split it from BTC using ’ splitting tool: https://github.com/hsjoberg/bcashjr-wallet/releases/tag/v0.0.1 Then sold for BTC on NeoxEX: https://neoxa.exchange/trade/BTCB2_BTC Use both the wallet and exchange at your own risk (I only did fairly small amounts), but it does work.

The plan has three stages. 1. Freeze coinbase rewards for 45 days. 2. If no “unintended side effects”, extend coinbase freeze for full year. 3. By the end of that year only allow DATUM-mined block rewards to be spent… somehow. 1 & 2 are to disincentivize “opportunistic shitcoin miners” that just want to mine and sell the coins for profit… or something.

So yeah it looks like the new rules are being enforced by a majority of miners, which means that any blocks that don't enforce these rules keep getting wiped out, and there is no chain split. Will be interesting to see if the coinbase freeze gets extended in the upcoming 45 days, given that this was pretty explicitely targeted at "bad actor" AlphaPool... who now helped ensure Luke's soft fork is the majority chain.

The chain with the new rules is currently ahead, which means the blocks on the old rules were wiped out. In other words, no split currently. Interestingly, the new chain is ahead because AlphaPool is mining on it. This is the exact pool they consider a bad actor and is why this soft fork was rolled put in the first place... ...and this pool won't even be able to spend these block rewards, perhaps ever!

For anyone still interested in this clown show... tried to push through a soft fork on Bitcoin-jr with ~one day notice, to freeze newly generated block rewards. The rules just went into effect, and now that blockchain has split between upgraded and non-upgraded nodes. Whether the split is temporary or permanent (Bitcoin-jr v. Bitcoin-jr Classic) remains to be seen. To watch it unfold live, grab some popcorn and tune into this fork observer vibe coded by : https://lukecoin.zndtoshi.com/

Well Luke is not a Bitcoin dev anymore and Mechanic never was :)

Haha dat was echt een heel slecht moment om het interview af te kappen.

I just read somewhere that affected customers have been contacted by Revolut, so if you haven't been contacted you're probably(?) fine.

Why too late? Is there some cutoff date that's relevant here? I also closed my account earlier this year, or maybe late last year.
