“There is assignment to be done on fee management,” Séchet responds. “Finding the appropriate fee anatomy will booty time, if one exists at all.”
BCH & BTC Compatibility and Layer Two Solutions
Following this discussion, an AMA actor asked Séchet if he believes BCH and BTC can coexist in the approaching with altered use cases or if he thinks all the hashpower will assemble to one chain.
