I'm sad that Dathan Ohm decided to make a BIP-110 BTC bet with Zender rather than me, but I'm even more disappointed that they are executing the bet via a simple 2of3 multisig with a human arbiter rather than using a trustless script based contract.

A stalker who wants your address can simply open an Amazon seller account and list themselves as a third party seller for any item on your public wishlist. Then, they order the item from themselves as a gift for you. Presto, they now know your address!

Anyone can decide to be puritanical and apply subjective tests. It's not well defined by any means and purity tends to change over time until it devolves into absurdity.

I'm in favor. They're not perfect but I think a dynamic multiparty coalition of miners is better than a simple multisig federation of you want a sidechain to be robust against nation state pressure.

Bitcoin is strong but it's not perfect; Bitcoin is vulnerable to attack. There are principled people who have been warning us for years about the need to patch Bitcoin's weaknesses, and it's long overdue for us to take action.

I think the reason it's confusing is because I was gaming out many possible scenarios that could theoretically happen but would require varying levels of support to practically occur. The first 11 points are the problems in theory if it were to gain meaningful support. My analysis becomes more practical after that.

There are many possible scenarios, but if any blocks at all get produced on the BIP-110 fork then you should expect that major custodians and anyone using attention will take a "wait and see" approach by suspending withdrawals / deposits / trades during the period of uncertainty.

Practically speaking, I don't expect a chain split until August and when it happens you won't be able to "sell the BIP-110 side" of the fork because no services will support it. It won't be safe to use due to the extremely low hashrate and lack of replay protection. It will be a DOA fork.

If you're holding both sides of the fork then you're net neutral and have no effect upon the fork's success. If you're hope to push miners towards one side of the fork then you have to send an economic signal rather than a zero value Sybillable node signal.
