BU is buggy right now. Growing pains. They need more mature process.

Guess what -- I still prefer it to Core. Who cares how robust Core is when they want to change Bitcoin into something that's not even p2p electronic cash anymore.

Another week another BU BUG.

It is growing pains or maybe it is time to accept that their coding team is simply unfit for dealing with multibillion worth software upgrade?
And the nail to the coffin - BU code is no longer open sourced: https://cointelegraph.com/news/bitcoin-unlimited-second-bug-sees-closed-source-code-release

Guys i m new. I posted that picture yesterday. So the nodes really suffered another attack or happened some kind of problem? Also i noticed today that the hashrate reduced almost 3% on unlimited.

Why ppl want to adopt this bugcoin?? I dont get...

Well, they are either too brainwashed to see the problem or they have some ulterior motive for doing this. I can see why some miners are supporting

this, because they might think that they would lose out on tx fees.... The main problem is the "politics" behind this... You have to make the decision if

you "trust" either of the sides of this battle. {Who will be the most capable to secure your coins} Judge their code....

Luckily this will never be the end... there will always be "counter" proposals on the table. Roll Eyes

Dude you can't be honestly still saying this is a good idea, a fucking closed source patch on what is supposed to replace Bitcoin? You have to be kidding me.

It's like a religious cult at this stage. They will accept any old crap offered up now, on the premise of "it's just a bug". Imagine trusting the 20 billion dollar btc industry to this crap; crashes are the least of my worries.

Idiots like jonald_fyookball are too brainwashed at this point to be saved. He is accepting that developers release a closed source patch to save up for their coding incompetence. If Core devs attempted to do this nobody would trust them ever again.

Temporarily or not this is irrelevant, the point is, they have released closed source software, a capital sin in the crypto world. Good luck running that patch. The binaries are not even signed, and they somehow still fuck up and get their code leaked.

Anyone defending BU over Core without getting paid is objectively an idiot.

And the number of BU nodes is back to the about the same level showing yet again the type of person running this crap (that and all the VPSs owned by the same people inflating the numbers artificially.)

still wondering why antpool is supporting BU after all this, have perhaps some man from their mining farm working on BU, who is working on BU currently, i would like to know who are the dev behind that thing

call this a conspiracy but it could make sense, that someone that is working on the opponent project want to push it at all cost by showing pool support

This is the funny part, antpool don't even need to be running this BU crap to be signalling for it. i doubt they'd trust 100s of PH of mining operations to that crap.

This is the work of none other than Roger Vermin and his sea of VPS nodes. Even the people on /r/btc are downvoting BU devs now lol.

Well they don't want Segwit/LN, and they probably don't want BU either it's just a means to block the former.

I'll admit it, I was running one core node and one unlimited node (but no actual bitcoins on it, not that daft!!), keeping my options open. Not a fan of segwit/ln it seems to be so far away from what got me into bitcoin, and on balance BU seemed a simpler and better solution (though not ideal) to the current problems.

Sadly as you say, they just can't be trusted at the moment, my BU node has gone down (btw on a windows machine, thought this was a linux problem), and it's staying down.

BREAKING: BU developers release closed source patch because they are too incompetent to guarantee functional software. Users seem to be waking up and rejecting this scam:

Anyone still defending this is under a paycheck. If the chinese cartels still go through with the HF going against 88% of the network you know they are being paid to do so since no one would be that stupid to go kamikaze for free. This seals the deal. There will be no HF (and if there is a HF, BUcoin will get dumped for free BTCs)

The number of BU nodes has never been significant and obviously it's the hash rate that counts to whether it actually happens.

The number of BU blocks in the past week is still 37.6% to SegWit's 26.6%.

I think that the nodes do represent the users (not completely accurately but to some extent), and it shows how BU is monopolised by Bitmain and other major Chinese companies rather than the vast majority of users (and nodes). I say let the HF happen so that the BU coin can die from user usage and Jihan Wu comes crawling back to Core.

im sure its just a temporary patch and the fix will be open sourced soon

If it isn't temporary would that sway your opinion or would you stay loyal to the BU fork?

Code has to be open sourced, sure.

Oh, Cmon man. Just admit that you were backing the wrong horse and be done with it. It is one thing standing up for principle and another losing everything because of it. The only reason why someone would openly support this crap, would be because they are paid shills or if they have no money invested in this and are just trolling.

I admit, Bitcoin Core is not the perfect solution, but it is way better than BU at this stage. ^hmmmmmm^

Bitcoin algorithm is extremely complicated i think BU developers are not fit for these field.

Yes it is thats why bitcoin (core) is still considered as most secure algorithm while developers of BU are not even capable of fixing a bug found weeks ago. Grin

When do we get the guns out? *

I have read all kinds of stuff pro-BU, pro-SW, anti-BU, anti-SW, Core blah this, Core blah that, etc. I also read (somewhere here in the forum) that it will be the team with most money that will win...

But maybe a little full-blown violence is the way to solve this. A final solution (I know, bad, bad, bad).

That's why we need to defend BU hard fork. Who doesn't want free coins, eh? Let them have their own shitcoin so we can't dump them for free btc's. Sounds pretty awesome to me.

If we don't have anything to fear, then why do we care about BU at all?

Voger Rer, or whatever the fuck he is called, has no coding experience. He doesn't understand a shit about it. He was a lucky early adopter, that's all.

This is the sad reality. He will be remembered as the man who tried to break Bitcoin if Bitcoin Unlimited fades into the background just like how Gavin Andresen's XT. Now where is Gavin? His contributions are overlooked but his Bitcoin XT hard fork proposal is always remembered as traitorous to Bitcoin and the community.

Will the Bitcoin Jesus be renamed as the Bitcoin Judas? History will tell.

I think BU was good before it had some critical bug that took down lots of their nodes and now another attack occured. Did the core devs mess up like this in the past years?
Luckily the fork hasn't occured yet, they should really fixed their codes first before we get unlimited attacks in the future.
Bitcoin algorithm is extremely complicated i think BU developers are not fit for these field.
