🧵Hilo Ante la caída de la red de @solana y teniendo como base que @ethereum es un #Fork de #EthereumClassic post-suceso TheDAO
Hay un dato interesante que analizar, una de las características de #bitcoin es la #inmutabilidad pero según un suceso ocurrido en el año 2013, sigue 👇
En el 2013 un ataque de #DobleGasto para poder contrarrestarlo #bitcoin se vio obligado a realizar un #Rollback, puedes ver todos los detalles del suceso aquí 👉 github.com/bitcoin/bips/b…
La pregunta es; si este rollback sucedió entonces ¿El tema de la inmutabilidad dónde queda?
El suceso anterior tiene como registro: CVE-2013-3220 (Migracion de BerkeleyDB a LevelDB).
Contexto: #Bitcoin al utilizar UTXO; para poder parchar el Bug fue necesario sacar un nuevo cliente a través de un #softfork el cual regreso la cadena al bloque 74,691 (rollback).

1/8 Thread on why #bitcoin Soft Forks preserve consensus. Confused why people prefer Soft Forks over Hard Forks? Do Soft Forks somehow seem coercive? Do you feel like Hard Forks aren't such a big deal? Then read this!
2/8 A proper (non-evil) #SoftFork does not negatively impact users that don't upgrade. This is important, because it preserves the consensus we had before the fork. Don't like the changes? Don't upgrade. No harm done.
3/8 "I refuse, because this unfairly gives soft fork proponents more features than me!". This is #HorseTrading and is unhealthy. If one side can get something they want at no cost to you, don't stand in the way. Consensus will and should ignore you.
