Topic: Is this decline in BU nodes temporary? (See chart) (Read 892 times)

Yes it's temporary. The same number of pools are still mining BU blocks and this is normal day to day variance. The BU and segwit support levels in mining have remained unchanged for weeks now.

I guess you were right. BU is once again pulling ahead: https://coin.dance/blocks

They're at pretty much exactly the same place that they have been for some weeks now. The relevant thing is the hashrate, which is how much mining power supports it. All coin.dance shows is how many blocks have been mined supporting each solution, which can vary since there's only a block every ten minutes and the group that mines it is random.

Just keep an eye on which pools are mining what and that's how you can gauge the real support. Unless a pool starts or stops signalling one or the other, the actual support level hasn't changed. In that regard graphs showing trends based on block solves are actually wrong and misleading. Graphs should show support by showing pool support * pool size. Only when support is overwhelming is block graph charting meaningful - as a gauge for when activation will occur.

the link you posted shows blocks, in other words shows support of miners for each proposal and the blocks they mine.
this link: https://coin.dance/nodes shows full nodes that are running different clients hence supporting different proposals.
and a little variance will always be in both of these charts.

Only paid ranters and Chinese whales wants BU to make Bitcoin centralized sorry for them. Bitcore wins! BU's death is coming very soon.

You're kinda wrong, another pool has added SegWit support, they show as Unknown.

No I'm kinda right. There has been support from an unknown for a very long time.

The unknown has grown considerably in hash recently (or appears to have), that's why the gap between BU and SegWit has decreased (or at least that's my thoughts).

People want SegWit not BU. Have you seen the price of Litecoin lately since adding SegWit?

People want Bitcoin to increase in value, like Litecoin x4 or x5 or whatever it has gone up since adding SegWit. Imagine that, 1500 x5 = $7500! BTC

Only shills and butthurt idiots want BU.

People want to see Bitcoin prosper and succeed not fail and flounder like it would under a Chinese centralized control BU bullshit.

According to the link I supplied (https://coin.dance/blocks), there are about as many BU shills and idiots as thinking people who want SegWit.

Further, your chart has absolutely nothing to do with nodes.

I thought http://www.investopedia.com/news/bitcoin-unlimited-thwarted-plummet-functioning-nodes/ had something to do with it -- presumably if nodes signalling BU fall off, it would affect how many miners would want to run BU.
