The OP_CODES were 'disabled' by core because they were considered poorly tested and a consensus logic risk. https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/2610

Of course, the highly skilled 'Bitcoin ABC' aka bcash developers obviously tested these well, with no risk to consensus logic or users funds...

View on HN

Can we please avoid having HN becoming yet another battleground for Core vs Cash sock puppets to dump their trollish posts?

Tell people to stop upvoting these threads, don't tell commenters to stop explaining issues and providing sources.

Eh, I think this belongs here. Heavy moderation is probably good to prevent the BTC/BCH flame wars you'll see on other forums, but the technical differences being introduced between the chains (such as OP_CODES here) are actually very interesting I think.

I thought asking people to upvote or downvote content on HN was against the rules?

>Please don't impute astroturfing or shillage. That degrades discussion and is usually mistaken. If you're worried about it, email us and we'll look at the data.

>Please don't complain that a submission is inappropriate. If a story is spam or off-topic, flag it. Don't feed egregious comments by replying; flag them instead. If you flag something, please don't also comment that you did.

>Please don't comment about the voting on comments. It never does any good, and it makes boring reading.

Why do people think this is trolling?

Ive been a long time bitcoin owner and I know having 15 different forks is bad for the currency.

Unless the definition of trolling has changed, I'm very serious when I hate on the fraud being committed with 'the real true bitcoin'.

When BCH started encouraging 0conf, I started thinking BCH leaders were actually crypto terrorists.

Because as I see it you're saying enabling OP_CODES is a bad thing. You may be right, but you didn't use a very good argument.

You used an 'Appeal to authority' to show OP_CODES are bad then you implied no testing was done by the BCH guys without providing any evidence of such.

So that's probably why you got downvoted.

Because of the use of "bcash" and "bcore" which are both considered derogatory terms for their coin on either side.

"bcash" is an indicator, but less strong of one than a green account with a randomly generated user name posting about it.
