Over 37% support Asicboost. How much of that is Bitmain?

i think it's safe to say that it's 100%. and if it ain't them directly then it's their army of sockpuppets.

According to BillyBobZorton financial market movement theory

lol

prices move up and down all the time..
billy just waits for the certain time when something happens and then spams out the "pereira4" script.

but just remember. when it comes to trying to link news vs a price..

even a broken clock can have the correct time twice a day

Bigger blocks short term support still looking good, but the bitcoin price is up! According to BillyBobZorton financial market movement theory, it should be going down!

And there is more support for bigger blocks from users than some propagandists would like the sheep to believe. Quite a few people on here who are not convinced by the segwit soft fork direction.

In any case, it doesn't matter, nobody supports BUcoin beyond a couple /r/btc loons.

Some of those loons have a pretty decent amount of hashing power and money to take out advertisements. 
I saw some BU ads on Reddit the other day. They are really trying hard to push their agenda.

big blocks over 50% now.  BU + classic

I don't think a new thread for every time block variance favours BUcoin or segwit is needed to be honest. In any case, it doesn't matter, nobody supports BUcoin beyond a couple /r/btc loons. Actual support for the software will remain in Core, segwit remains supported by all major players, Jihan is alone on this, he is wasting his time, but the again, he doesn't really want BU or anything, he wants to keep bitcoin as it is for life so he can keep milking high fees.

We just have to wait and see. For now, let the bull run! Hold on to your Bitcorns! Don't sell too soon, it's going to be a long ride to $10,000.

Get real. Even if the BUer coin gets more than 90% support of the miners, it is never going to fork. Won't happen.
What are you on about?  Rightly or wrongly, miners have the ability to decide if a hard fork happens and what happens to the protocol.  In theory, BU would happen at 75% consensus and it could even happen at less than that if it had to.

Quote
If it ever gets forked, BU supporting miners will be mining their shitcoin without any community support and they will get back to Core one by one in time.
Sometimes community support doesn't actually matter that much because a huge amount of the wealth in Bitcoin is from whales now and they basically have no principles like the community does.  We'll expect to see a big price hike on BU if it ever happens, at least in the short term although I think it could drop after a while.

Quote
Nothing is stopping BU to have its fork, they can split the chain right now if they wanted it. They don't. What they want is to be cancer to the community.
They can't split the chain until they have 50% consensus.  You're misunderstanding how this works - all changes to Bitcoin are based on miner consensus (with hashrate).

Yes, but that isn't really a milestone.  It'll only be a milestone when one specific solution gets over 50%.

Hashrate doesn't even reflect the will of the community.  It only reflects the will of a small group of people who control the majority of the hashrate.  Big block solutions having over 50% doesn't really mean anything.

More importantly, how popular a solution is already shouldn't affect people's opinions.  No one should be caving in to whichever solution is more popular or based on the belief that one is unlikely to happen.

Probably only temporary variance. Nothing to get excited about. Nothing to see here, apart from a Status Quo concert.
