Do unsynced Bitcoin ABC nodes send Bitcoin transactions instead of Bitcoin Cash transactions?

3

Bitcoin ABC is fully compatible to Bitcoin up to the fork. Does that mean that an unsynchronized Bitcoin ABC node sends Bitcoin transactions instead of Bitcoin Cash?

I wonder if the node is looking for the fork, and not finding it?doffing81 2017-08-04T17:02:15.340

Yeah, sounds very likely.Murch 2017-08-04T18:48:24.160

The latest version of Bitcoin ABC that is released before UAHF happened, sends Bitcoin-style transactions if it is not synced.

Proof: https://github.com/Bitcoin-ABC/bitcoin-abc/commit/fda9dab6a9fba4a95aa2d9620f28b787efccf748

The current latest version always sends Bitcoin Cash transactions.
