How does each user decide which chain they&#39;re on, etc.? Maybe it&#39;s 3 hours in on some podcast I&#39;ve missed, but it takes quite a bit of digging to find a good written rundown. Maybe someone can write a long-form article on Nostr on it.&#xA;&#xA;My basic understanding: Whenever there&#39;s been a fork, whatever coin forked off has died. Usually it&#39;s been others initiating the controversial change - this time it&#39;s Core. v30 is the &#34;fork&#34; in my opinion, the departure from what has been, but Core has the advantage of being the default implementation everyone knows. &#xA;&#xA;Feels a bit like voting. I want to decide based on what I believe is right, not which side I think will win. But I don&#39;t even understand the mechanics yet of how those things play out, where in an election, or a sports game, assuming things are honest, people know how winning works. And I have looked - I imagine many others haven&#39;t had a chance to try to learn about it.&#xA;&#xA;I think this confusion is part of the price cooling off - other things scare the suitcoiners, only a few get under the skins of real Bitcoiners, but something like this can. When we&#39;re through it and these questions are answered, I think a lot of people will kick back into gear who have held back because of this uncertainty.  &#xA;&#xA;</html></oembed>
