Luke Dashjr: “There was no split”

@LukeDashjr · Oct 10, 2026

Luke Dashjr says the chain didn’t split over BLAKE2b. In his telling, the SHA-256 miners left on Aug 8 for what he calls an “airdrop scamcoin”, Bitcoin carried on, and the switch to BLAKE2b came later, on Aug 30, with full consensus.

@MountainHodl21 Spamcoin launched Aug 8th. The former miners left Bitcoin for their airdrop scamcoin.

Bitcoin continued on. The BLAKE2b HF wasn't until Aug 30, and there was no split over it.
