Waiting for my account to be nullified.

The only change to the bitcoin spin offs happened after the respective fork of each version. Past history was not changed. Even Etherium's fork, which removed a transaction, did so by rolling back the clock to before a certain smart contract was created which unintentionally froze Kazillions of tokens.

There was a blacklist in the HIVE forks resyncing code that specifically removed assets of targeted accounts. Your comparison is odious.

Was my last sentence not clear enough? And what part of “That was a mistake.” didn't convey my opposition to the black list?

Perhaps my reading stopped at, "Hive is absolutely how forks are handled traditionally."

One does not exclude the other: The itself fork handled traditionally. Applying a black list as first step of the new chain was a mistake.

I had a quick peek at the source code and I'm pretty sure that's how it was done: Traditional fork and then clean out the accounts from a hard coded black list.

Now both chains have deprived users of funds. How can we ever trust them again?
