Replay protection was implemented. Without replay protection, a transaction would be valid on both chains resulting in chaos and disruption. As it became clear that ABC was ‘winning,’ cryptocurrency hardware wallet, Ledger resumed support for BCH. The hardware wallet company, however, didn’t add support for BSV to criticism from SV supporters who claimed that these companies were choosing favorites despite SV having a higher hash rate (from time to time).Then Ayre came out on November 23 stating that SV was ready to put an end to the conflict by adding replay protection, which would prevent double-spending on both chains. With this move, those on the fence had to now ‘pick a side,’ as the cryptocurrency landscape now had two versions of Bitcoin Cash.On CoinMarketCap, the ABC chain is now recognized as Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Craig Wright’s chain as Bitcoin Cash SV (BSV) [coin_price coin=bitcoin-sv], thought Ayre and Wright maintain that BSV is the ‘original Bitcoin.’While the ABC vs. SV hash war may be coming to a close, there isn’t any indication of a cessation of hostilities between both camps. Presently, BCH is only marginally above Stellar based on market cap.One critical event to look out for is the next scheduled Bitcoin Cash hard-fork ‘upgrade.’ It will be interesting to see if the Bitcoin Cash community keeps this strategy moving forward, however. As we have seen, regularly scheduled hard-forks may not always be the safest approach to ‘upgrading’ the protocol.What do you expect will happen next in the Bitcoin Cash hard fork saga?
