Block Chain Reorgs
Block Chain Reorganizations
----------------------------
Users should be aware of new behavior in Zcash that differs significantly from Bitcoin: in the case of a block chain reorganization, Bitcoin's coinbase maturity rule helps ensure that any reorg shorter than the maturity interval will not invalidate any of the rolled-back transactions. However for Zcash, all JoinSplits which were anchored within the reorg interval will become invalid, rolling back transactions and reverting funds to the original owner. The transaction rebroadcast mechanism inherited from Bitcoin will not successfully rebroadcast transactions containing JoinSplits if the anchor needs to change—the JoinSplit creator must do that.
For receivers of funds from a JoinSplit, using a higher minconf can help mitigate the risk of relying on funds received from transactions that may be rolled back.
