<p>You claim that if all merchants, exchanges and users are moving to your chain then it will be the main chain even if it has less computational power.</p>
<p>But the majority of the hashrate can now perform double spends on your chain! They can send bitcoins to exchanges, sell it, extract the money and build a new longer chain to get their bitcoins back. Are companies like Xapo and Coinbase really so stupid that they would go along with this without complete consensus? I dont think so.</p>
<p>If the miners think that Bitcoin is doomed because of this change, then this is what they will do to maximize their profits.</p>
<p>But you could always roll back the blockchain to revert the double spend and have you and Gavin do a checkpoint on every block. Better yet just sign the blocks yourselves and you wont have to worry about that pesky mining!</p>
<p>Or you could change the hashing algortihm... Oh, but wait... so much capital has gone into the mining industry so this aint gonna happen.</p>
<p>The sheep of reddit who worships Gavin and Hearn really need to understand the importance of consensus...</p>
<p>Nothing of this is obviously going to happen, but just the fact that Mike suggests it is painful to watch.</p>
