The risk the users get exposed if following the longest PoW chain is not acceptable at least in the case for Bisq (P2P exchange using 2of3 MultiSig to secure the trade). If both chains have similar hash power and miners switch between chains the longest PoW would change, leading to massive reorgs/wipeouts of past transactions (and would render a trade in Bisq insecure).
Using custom nodes to connect to might be one option to stick to one chain, but that would render the P2P architecture pointless and BitcinJ would become a federated server model. Luke Dash Jr. suggested [1] to use Block 494784 [2] to let the light wallet distinguish on which chain it is. Any thoughts on that? Anyone interested to implement that in BitcoinJ? What are the strategies others are planning to use? Which projects/wallets are actually using BitconJ? I am aware of: - Andoid wallet (Schildbach wallet) - MultiBit - Mycelium - Bisq Br, Manfred [1] https://twitter.com/LukeDashjr/status/919053114912727040 [2] https://segwit2x.github.io/segwit2x-announce.html -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "bitcoinj" group.
