Hard fork took place on the Bitcoin SV network.

On the morning of February 4, the planned Genesis hard fork on the Bitcoin SV network took place. The update was activated on block # 620 538.



According to BitMEX experts, the next block after the update, found # 620 539, was found invalid by the fact that the client version 0.2.1 worked according to the old rules.

Along with this, analysts noted that a fairly large number of nodes were updated in before activating the hard fork.

According to Coin Dance, at the time of writing, 157 new blocks were mined in the Bitcoin SV network according to the new consensus rules. Apparently, the network has stabilized.
