@josh nothing burger. People are really bending to say double-spend. Nothing actually happened and seems like an edge case that could affects 1 confirmation deposits at most which isn't considered strong despite bitmex themselves doing it.
@josh also you can ask some people who are more deeply involved in actual dev work than me like @pete or @verretor

@crunklord420 @verretor @josh That article is dumb. Double spending unconfirmed transactions happens all the time. So it occasionally being seen in confirmed tx with a single conf, and small 1 block reogrg, is unsurprising.

That's why if you are accepting a large amount of money you can't afford to lose, you wait for multiple confirmations. Which ~every exchange and other high-value use case does. The white paper itself had an example where six was needed.

@pete @crunklord420 @josh People have managed to replace unconfirmed transactions with BCash but let's not talk about it.

@verretor @pete @crunklord420 @josh

Hayden is exactly what a scammer looks like. Have you heard the way he talks, he is one dodgy mofo.

@jk3r @pete @crunklord420 @josh BCashers shouldn't even feel confident about CONFIRMED transactions.

@verretor @pete @crunklord420 @josh

It the only thing they can sell. Low fees and 0conf, they care nothing about security at all.

@jk3r @pete @crunklord420 @josh Exactly. They're either scammers or they're just really dumb.

@verretor @jk3r @pete @crunklord420 @josh it's not that they don't care about security, it's that no one cares about Bcash therefore it's not secure.
