Fork Wars : Another Ethereum Fork in the Making – CETH

in ethereum •  8 years ago 

So , now someone wants to fork again to make replay attacks impossible...

"A post on reddit has bee published today that introduces Classic Ethereum (CETH) – another Ethereum (ETH) for that is apparently in the making at the moment. Just like Ethereum Classic (ETC) the new Classic Ethereum (CETH) fork will follow the original Ethereum blockchain until the controversial block 1920000 where it will fork with a small signature change to make replay attacks impossible. We are going to see how this will affect things and if it may make them even worse than they are at the moment or instead will help. The current Ethereum situation where ETC is causing more issues than helping driven by the greed for making money from “free coins” and hurting different members of the crypto ecosystem with the use and misuse of replay attacks. We are going to be following the development of the situation with new fork Classic Ethereum (CETH"

Replay attacks only occur for ETC traders who don't know how to spit their funds. It's a very small minority that is to blaim for their own stupidity.
I'm pretty sure ther will not be consensus to fork again for this reason.

I have to disagree with you : replay attacks can be used from any of the two chains against any of the two chains.
If you send ETC from a wallet the transaction can be replayed against your ETH from the same wallet.

But if you hold your eth and etc in different wallets, theres no way to do this. Or am I wrong here?

I am sorry , I can not answer you question as I am not 100% sure myself.
What I can tell you is that you can transfer your ETH / ETC to Poloniex , they will take care of any spliting or replay attacks problems. That's what I did .

There's a splitting contract on the blockchain that has two output contracts, one on the forked chain and one on the not forked chain. It might be different for tokens, but your ethereum is save if it only exists in a wallet that was created after the fork

Keep up the great work @cryptoninja
