A stalled fork of Bitcoin called BIP-110 is being revived, bringing replay attack risks back into focus. Replay attacks occur when a transaction on one blockchain is copied onto another, causing confusion and potential loss. The BIP-110 minority chain plans to change its mining algorithm but lacks mandatory replay protection, relying instead on opt-in measures that require user awareness. This has sparked debate, with supporters calling the dominant Bitcoin chain a 'spamcoin' and refusing to add automatic replay protection, while the majority network continues to dominate in hashrate and economic activity. The issue highlights the challenges of safely splitting assets across chains and the importance of clear replay protection in forks.
