==== Diverging Miners and Difficulty
As miners diverge into mining two different chains, the hashing power is split between the chains. The mining power can be split in any proportion between the two chains. The new rules may only be followed by a minority, or by the vast majority of the mining power.
((("forks", "changing consensus rules", "diverging miners and difficulty")))As miners diverge into mining two different chains, the hashing power is split between the chains. The mining power can be split in any proportion between the two chains. The new rules may only be followed by a minority, or by the vast majority of the mining power.
Let's assume, for example, an 80%-20% split, with the majority of the mining power using the new consensus rules. Let's also assume that the fork occurs immediately after a retargetting period.
