Topic: Bitcoin Unlimited 40.3 % segwit=>deadwit :D :D (Read 1769 times)

Go ask yourself, if miners who have invested millions in mining hardware still prefer a client that is buggy, then what does that tell you about Core's dev team?

No one ever said the core dev team are bad developers, but I'd much rather support a lower-skilled dev that is honest than to support a better dev that is dishonest.

they did. i guess you didnt get the invite to the many all inclusive weekends.
BTCC jumped straight onboard the segwit ship in november. kind of too obvious jumping on that fast

Damn I wish segwit could bribe miners like roger does.

Bitcoin as it is won't be killed. In worst case scenario, there will be 2 chains which both sides have their own supporters and community members. The only thing is that the other side, BU in this case, will be an altcoin. Exchanges have also confirmed to list it as such in case there will really be 2 seperate chains. Other than that, greed is the main motive for people to go full nuts, and this situation is no exception.

Let me tell what i am thinking about this hard fork. If this happend, because of greedy ppls, this will be the end for btc.hello 200, and will never recover !!! You guys kill the only great think in the monetary sustem, you kill the future ... Good job !!!

I really thought that with the issues that arose with the code in BTU that they didn't even discover, it was going to signal the end of BTU and the start of Segwit actually being accepted by the miners. Boy was I wrong when it came to this.

Though, I've seen that is has fallen a little bit and is around the point of 34.7 percent compared to 40.3 when you posted this article.


It is possible to invest in BTU or at least invest in the speculation that it will become Bitcoin and the miners will actually band together in doing a hard fork with a 51 percent majority.

I think Bitfinex is the site that allows you to do this, as we know they do have a bit of a shaky reputation due to the hack that occurred within them but besides that they've been a pretty innovative member of the exchanges these days.

I personally would rather Segwit but I guess anything to help would just be nice, just don't fuck with Bitcoin is all that I ask.

Considering recent pump of some alts I think he wasted huge ammount of his bitcoins on dash and eth. So nobody will dump BTC when BTU splits

Well i'm glad we agree on that

I'd probably be up for supporting BU's ideas but the fear campaign will never work.

That is mostly the work of Roger Ver. He has hundred of thousands of bitcoin, so he tries to shape the situation to meet his agenda. He is truly the George Soros of bitcoin. He will be hated for what he is doing once the idiots that still haven't caught up with the facts do.

Going to be interesting.

BU is in bed with BitMain & McAfee. So it should be expected that 40% would signal BU.

BU has very little community support -- which is what really matters (average person doesn't even know what miners are doing)

Browsing Twitter/youtube it's rare to encounter a BU supporter

BU is already being listed as an alt-coin. Also it's quite obvious that the BU crew is behind the pumping of Dash and ETH to cause panic and reduce the BTC dominance.

So hardfork may occur any time now we must be prepared

The consensus has not been decided yet, it's to early to celebrate.
Tides may turn anytime by some exploit or an attack in the bitcoin network again.

Nevertheless  whoever wins in these two tyrants as long as they keep bitcoin crypto currecy well and fixed the problems at hand. I think it's fine whoever is in control.

But the BU gaining support from the miners are they really trustworthy ?
Are they really good enough in this field?
Or will be seeing again thousands of nodes going down?

A team of amateur morons with buggy software and flawed protocol changes gets near 50% of support by chinese state-funded mining monopoly comming from a single party

 



the result:



Good job. Soon you'll have to call it deadcoin.

correct


bitcoin has a diverse amount of SEVERAL implementations and has done for years.
Bu, just one of such have no intentions of splitting the network. bu are sticking to consensus as are many.

it is core that fears losing control and refuse to be a PEER ntwork along with anyone else. core want bitcoin to be a TIER network(upstream node).

core however should not own bitcoin because thats against bitcoins diverse decentralised ethos.
core didnt even exist pre 2013. so even core didnt own/invent bitcoin.

if you want core to be the owner of bitcoin.. then bitcoin has failed. yep even if core win, bitcoins decentralised ethos fails.

however if core just added a couple lines of code to be dynamic. core bu,xt, classic, bitcoinj, bitcoin ruby, nbitcoin, and a dozen others just continue on a level playing field of a PEER network.

---

if core refuse to stick with a peer network and enable their bip9 and UASF ban hammers(splitting the network).
*then if core have the majority, bitcoin still fails as now its 100% core ownership and other nodes as low level second tier downstream nodes with no vote and just sheep following core.

*then if core have the minority, the non-core implementations (many diverse nodes) on the majority side stick with a diverse PEER network. leaving core on its minority network alone as its own altcoin.
which is what they fear.

hence why core are begging non-core devs to cause a split so core can control things.. core does not care about consensus. and is doing all it can to avoid consensus. and cntralise their network. all for the sake of repaying the $70m+ debt hanging over blockstreams shoulders that needs to be repaid via LN fee's

Jihad Jihan wu is an central Chinese miner who lost his ALT-coin PR battle.

Any hard fork if not performed by the majority consensus will fail dead stone, in case if anyone wondered what would be an all out attack on bitcoin then you can see how altcoin fans and bitcoin haters are trying to destroy the network by only 1 pool switching/activating/performing the hard fork.
Consensus hard fork must be decided by almost all the nodes and all the miners and not by 1 giant miner pool.

BU is a damn discrete hostile take over, they are trying to fire the chairman/founder of bitcoin if it was a company.,

Thank you Danny, I just heard you can already trade for BCC coins (core) or BCU coins  (unlimited) or something to that affect and bitfinex. Kind of a spec play...

Any BTC you hold in your own wallet before the fork WILL BE Bitcoin Unlimited bitcoins after the fork as long as you are running Bitcoin Unlimited compatible wallet.

If you are NOT running a Bitcoin Unlimited compatible wallet, then they will remain Bitcoin Core bitcoins.

If you run both an Unlimited compatible wallet AND a wallet that is NOT Unlimited compatible, then you'll double the number of bitcoins you own, but any transaction you send of one type might be able to affect the other type if you aren't careful.

If you are just using a third party account (such as with BitStamp, BitFinex, Coinbase, etc) then they will get to choose for you.

A week back the same took place with bitcoin unlimited. It took hold of the network and the miners support as well to more than 40%, but the same in a short soon after the bug it got crashed and the support decreased to 30% in a small time interval. It's just a temporary outcome of bitcoin unlimited which will soon be won.
