BU is winning. Go over to https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/ and get some unfiltered reality.
Sorry to burst your bubble. Im sure the bug will be fixed and BU back up and running. It's not like Bitcoin never had a serious bug before.

do you honestly think the majority would be inclined to take it seriously again? they weren't all that convinced before.
if they want to persuade people to make the change then they have to be perfect and then some. even before innovation, it has to be rock solid. bitcoin is no longer a weird little project to tinker with and no amount of obfuscation will compensate people if it blows up.

they'll be back in some form. it's not something that's gonna go away. they're already trying to spin it.
next time guys make sure your technical prowess outweighs your agenda.

Looks like about 200 nodes have stayed online which are probably mostly patched clients, though it could be very persistent users repeatedly restarting their node (and least less likely sybil attacks.)
Probably should add to the title: "BU node exploit, exploited".
So that users know that something occurred, as opposed to just another flame thread.
Normally, when something like this is discovered, it should remain secret until patched.
Surprised that it was added to the GitHub for the public to see, if this is true.

This is great news. I was getting a bit worried a hard fork would actually happen, but looks like Jihan's little nerd dream to be the emperor of bitcoin will not happen. Sorry, Core wins another day, and now $3000 are actually possible in 2017.

Let this be a reminder of what happens when you try to pass the development of a 20 billion dollar project into a bunch of idiots instead of sticking with the time-tested, world-class coders with a conservative mindset that have guaranteed our holdings stay safe for 7+ years.
This also proves most BU nodes were single entities with big pockets, probably the work of none other than Bitcoin Jesus himself.
If Jihan Wu, Roger Ver and Gavin Andressen still promote this garbage, we all know they don't even care about their holdings and have ulterior motives beyond the idea of naive good intentions.
