This article is based on the slides I used for a presentation at the Hong Kong Bitcoin Developer meetup on November 1st, plus some feedback I received on the chainspl.it Slack. This was before SegWit2x was called off, but in the interest of (my) time, I haven’t adjusted this article to reflect that. I’m sure something similar will happen again anyway and it’s a good mental exercise to think through what could have happened.

Blog post based on the presentation slides here.
