Update of BitcoinCacHe
The developers of Bitcoin ABC, which is a software implementation that accounts for 81.48% of all nodes operating in the network of Bitcoincache, may not be able to lose funds when the user mixes BTC address and BCH address In order to solve the problem, I announced a new update.
This problem is due to the hard fork of the Bitcoincache of 2017.
With this hard fork, Bitcoincache followed the same address format as bit coin.
As reported the other day, due to this problem, some currency assets are unintentionally and arbitrarily sent to the address of the other currency.
Such users temporarily or permanently lost their property.
By implementing a new address, exchanges, merchants, and wallet providers will need to update their software, but there is no need to update hard forks or new versions of all nodes.
Bitcoin ABC also publishes conversion tools so that users can respond to format conversion.
Mr. Satchet proposed at the first announcement that a reasonable day to update the software would be January 14th.
In addition to ending a series of address confusion problems, CashAddr has more effective error discovery functionality added, and it is now possible to symbolize the new address format more easily.
