Hard Forks, Soft Forks, Defaults and Coercion

One of the important arguments in the blockchain space is that of whether hard forks or soft forks are the preferred protocol upgrade mechanism. The basic difference between the two is that soft forks change the rules of a protocol by strictly reducing the set of transactions that is valid, so nodes following the old rules will still get on the new chain (provided that the majority of miners/validators implements the fork), whereas hard forks allow previously invalid transactions and blocks to become valid, so clients must upgrade their clients

The reason is that when we launched our PBX token one year ago it was very difficult to access developers who could write code

Opportunities for dApp developers, in a landscape that is just about to go mainstream, are hefty, and the way devs can get an advantage over their competitors is to capitalize on ways that save them time.
