Bitcoin 'Anti-Spam' Fork Fails After Minimal Mining Support
A recent 'anti-spam' fork of the Bitcoin blockchain has failed to gain traction, ceasing operations after mining only two blocks. The initiative managed to secure a meager 2.53% of total mining support, leading to extremely slow block production and rendering it unviable, while the main Bitcoin network continued its operations uninterrupted.
Bitcoin Anti-Spam Fork Sputters to a Halt
A breakaway chain, dubbed the 'anti-spam' fork of Bitcoin, has reportedly failed, attracting just 2.53% of the total mining support. This minimal backing resulted in blocks being mined hours apart, projecting a difficulty adjustment period of approximately 350 days, making the fork impractical and ultimately leading to its halt. In contrast, the primary Bitcoin network continued to operate effectively without disruption.
