So... Silly questions:<br/><br/>1) How will this continue to affect version 3.8.1 (pre-catastrophe) clients with bad block chain?<br/>2) How will this affect clients that upgrade to 3.8.10 but don't remove their block chain files?<br/></div>1) Once more than 50% of the node power is upgraded and the good chain overtakes the bad, the 0.3.10 nodes will make it hard for any bad transactions to get any confirmations. <br/>2) If you didn't remove your blk*.dat files, you're not helping to contribute to that 50%, and you'll still show bad transactions until the good chain overtakes the bad chain.</div>"
