Mischa on Nostr: Did Foundry stop mining as soon as mandatory signaling started, or only after Antpool ...
Did Foundry stop mining as soon as mandatory signaling started, or only after Antpool found the first block?
It would be interesting to know whether Foundry initially signaled BIP110 and then, after seeing Antpool’s block, pivoted, stopped mining, and waited or whether they stopped right when mandatory signaling began. It’s possible that it was simply chance that determined which chain won.
I’m still unsure why they didn’t prevent a chain split.
