Merchants should stop processing transactions Coins/Transactions from bad blockchains ('orphans') - will merge back into the valid blockchain, provided they have not been double spent. In other words, if you are worried about a transaction you made in the last few hours, it is very likely absolutely fine Details: "For any block on the chain, there is only one path to the genesis block.

心強いコメント＾＾ RT @seapollo: @purushivha redditの記事 [link] 関係者も会話に入ってきて、準公式な感じかも。ブロックチェーン.infoの参照先になるとは思わなかった。あらためてredditを見直しちゃった。

@purushivha 5時間前の投稿で、新しいv8と古いv7の共存する現在のネットワーク上でv7の処理できないブロックをv8のマイナー用ソフトが作ってしまった問題を現在復旧中とのこと。解決はするそう。価格急落の原因に含まれるかも？ [link]
