My query is a continuation of this one:
Why non-SegWit nodes don’t reject SegWit block since there isn’t any witness?
It says:
“If that’s the case, what prevents it to be spent by anybody not the meant recipient?
Most nodes (those who’ve up to date) would reject this transaction. Each miner would reject this transaction out of worry that their block (and block reward) could be rejected.
You may fork off into a series that spends these outputs although, in case you wished.”
Properly if by the outdated guidelines the transaction may be spent by anybody, and if pre-segwit node tries to spend it (lawfully), it is going to be rejected. So how is it a gentle fork if outdated node blocks may be rejected primarily based on nothing? Or definition of a tough fork signifies that outdated nodes will reject new node blocks?
Love the Optech btw
