ETC spec for forkid discover protocol #87

Closed meowsbits closed 4 years ago

meowsbits commented 4 years ago

Need to spec and ensure that ETC clients and networks implementing this protocol know how to do this in a consistent way, eg is 1920000 a fork? I say no, but this should be up for discussion and review.

Totally agree that 1920000 is not a fork for us. It's a fork for ETH, not ETC. I really don't like EIP-2124 ("separating networks" can make it harder to establish peer list, IMHO), and EIP-2364 (why use both genesis hash and forkid (which "contains" information about genesis hash)?).

The good part is, that change is implemented as new version of a protocol, instead of changing the current one.

Closing, will manage idea at ECIPs context.
