Many such cases.

Meh, child free describes me fine. Childless sounds like I'm missing something I'm supposed to have, but having a child in my life right now would probably not be good for either of us.

Is the child free man at fault or is civilization for creating a world in which he chose to be child free? Also GFY.

Here's a simulator that shows what happens to blocks at different levels of split hash rate: https://bip110.orange.surf/simulator.html Even at 30% of the hashrate BIP110 had a chance to invalidate some standard blocks, and the miners that won those blocks would have been shit out of luck because the standard blocks will build on BIP110 blocks, but not vice versa. At 45% BIP110 hashrate they had a chance to orphan dozens of standard blocks. Meanwhile when BIP110 falls behind temporarily, even though the simulator shows them as orphaned they will be reinstated if they retake the lead. When a standard block gets invalidate they are just shit out of luck no matter what. They tried to exploit this asymmetry by threatening miners that their hard earned standard blocks could be invalidated if they didn't adopt BIP110. They never needed 55% consensus, they just needed enough to make miners afraid they could lose their rewards. Whether BIP110 was good or not, the way they went about it was completely fucked up.

As I understand it, everyone mining for bip110 is now pointing hashrate at a dead chain or a hard fork. Unless they pull a zetahash out of their ass and overtake the standard chain it's over. Is that correct?

This is really weird specific advice, but if you're ever converting seed words to 11-digit binary using the official BIP-39 word list, you need to subtract 1 from the line number the word is on or you'll be off on every word. https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0039/english.txt

Came across this table for rolling your own seed with dice. It's the most straightforward method I've seen and you can easily see how each roll of the 4 dice set has an equal chance of selecting one of 2048 words. You just need a device that can calculate the final word checksum, preferably that gives you all 8 of the possible options so you can roll again to pick it. https://github.com/scottmsul/DiceTables/blob/master/dice_tables.pdf
