Too many people are assuming the dynamics of a soft fork will play out the same way it did in 2017. That is, a soft fork starts, but to prevent wipeout, one side or the other makes it a hard fork.
But because of what happened in 2017 and in 2018, particularly with respect to all those hard forks most going to 0, we're not getting a hard fork. Neither side is going to be so stupid as to do that and relegate themselves to obscurity.
No, it's going to be far more intricate and complicated and disruptive. Or seeing the possibilities, one side will cave.
Either way, you're probably not going to get an x% dividend.

Wouldn't say no to free sats tho
Good thing some of us don’t want an “x% dividend” 😏
Nobody needs to do anything new, the train is moving full steam ahead, if anything maybe a malleable spoon but even that is unnecessary
There's no such thing as "free" sats
This is about human survival not dividends
True
Your mom gave me free sats
Wasn't so bad hm honey?
What's the most conversative action now for a node runner?
Hey
Run core v29
Meh, we're not even going to get a soft fork because only OCEAN is retarded enough to try.
Why?
I'm starting to explore BTCD. Though actually running Knots v27 like I have been since last December before any of this shenanigans came up.
Older versions like 27 seems interesting but 29 has sub 1s/vb so my jewish side is stronger.
No one was up in arms before OP_RETURN limit filters in v30 were set to be deprecated so v29 is simply a continuation of the status quo.
IMO, while I agree philosophically with with team Knots, the one man band / lack of review should be a concern / consideration for those looking to take ‘conservative action’.
v29 will be maintained for a few years during which time options / opinions will likely change. Eg
- Knots tightens up their act and gets more devs / better review / is no longer a one man band.
-Core reverses course
-Another implementation is developed and released.
Right now I don’t think there is a need to take rash actions. Running Knots sends a message but not without risks.
Yeah I think when the coretards get their way and child porn starts getting uploaded there will be an instant hard fork as most of the network will refuse to accept those blocks.
The fact that nobody is updating to core 30 is the only reason it hasn't happened yet.
Don't update to core 30.
It's that simple
