For example, we could do something as\nsimple as fixing the timewarp attack as bip99 proposes. I cannot think of a\nhf that is easier to implement or has less potential for controversy than\nthat.\n\nOn 29 Mar 2017 8:32 am, \"Bram Cohen via bitcoin-dev\" \u003c\nbitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org\u003e wrote:\n\nOn Tue, Mar 28, 2017 at 9:59 AM, Wang Chun via bitcoin-dev \u003c\nbitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org\u003e wrote:\n\n\u003e\n\u003e The basic idea is, as many of us agree, hard fork is risky and should\n\u003e be well prepared.
