BIP-110 Fork Faces Replay Attack Risk

The proposed Bitcoin fork is related to the BIP-110 proposal, which may generate duplicate balances on two chains, leading holders to attempt to sell seemingly free forked coins. Since both chains initially accept the same transactions, selling forked coins could trigger a replay attack, causing the seller's real Bitcoins on the main chain to be spent. Developers have stated that there is a lack of built-in replay protection at least until early September, and non-professional users should avoid transferring Bitcoins during the potential fork period.
