Topic: Major crash no. 5 for BU nodes. (Read 2432 times)

I think it's more malicious, probably paid in BU coins to host these and are realize they are going through all this work to keep putting up tons of nodes for something that won't pass.

whats the deal with:
https://bitnodes.21.co/nodes/?q=xbadprobe:1.0

xbadprobe:1.0
seems theres near 100 of them on amazon servers

For what it's worth, this is the slowest I've seen the number of nodes recovering after a BU crash and it isn't close to its pre-crash level. Perhaps, just maybe, there are people amongst those node users that are finally realising how stupid it is to persist with this woeful hostile fork. There wasn't that much of a drop after each of the previous ones, but 5 major crashes should start being convincing enough... plus there's bound to be more in the future.

Aren't we all just trying to stir the pot at this point to get all the miners to notice that this is shitty code and shouldn't be the scaling solution which we allow to hit the masses, we should allow it to die at this point and the miners should let SegWit takeover to help with the issues relating to the network as a whole. As it's disgustingly bloated at this point and the scaling is the only way in which we'll be saved.

Gosh, I honestly don't know how much money Ver is dishing out in an attempt to take over the network through hostile means but the thing I don't understand is how the miners are willing to throw any sort of reputations and credentials they have for some money, as I doubt Ver is paying them THAT MUCH to be his shill and a crony.

Hope this will be the end or at least the beginning of the end.

It seems like to me that we should diversify away from BU nodes/ code and add more of a stable nodes/ code/ core.
I don't know why in the name of diversification they put hash power behind their nodes?
Lets have several implementations but just their nodes not hashrate.

Are you claiming that it was just a coincidence ,may be that is the fact,if i am wearing something i must know that i am supporting something,i cannot wear a Tshirt or a cap written that i am gay ,and let others think that i am a straight person.   Just an example,since you really like to have fun quotes i just made this up,no offense intended.
As far as another crash is concerned they have to change their name to blackout unlimited (BU).

I fully support the ideals and goals of BU. The elimination of the centrally-planned production quota would be the elimination of the most significant bug Bitcoin has.

That said, it does not matter who is attacking. Better it be bitcoiners now than the vampire squid after BU becomes the majority client.

These widespread crashes are embarrassing. They do demonstrate a lag in software quality. BU would benefit greatly from an influx of good developers. Making excuses is merely making excuses.

Sometimes, I despair briefly from these events. Then I recall that each bug exploited, identified, and squashed, is one less bug in the system.

A suboptimal implementation of the correct design decisions is infinitely better than the tightest implementation of the wrong design. In time, BU will prevail.

I have nothing to do with Reddit and neither does Reddit have anything to do with my post.

As soon as you stop defending Bugs Unlimited.

There is nothing wrong with UASF. Read: user-activated-soft-fork.

Nope. Bitcoin Core remains the BTC after UASF even in the case of a split. Whatever BU does will make BU listed as BTU altcoin.

It strikes again the BUGcoin, if someone still supports Bitcoin Unlimited after 5 consecutive crashes in just a year,  i guess their all madmen
Good thing that this scaling solution has never been activated and an hardfork never occur.
Cause if this was implemented that will be the end of bitcoin.

Which real users BU got?  Jihan and roger supported by redddit btc people    Polls all over the place shows uss that atleast 85% wants Segwitt, i see the market as the real Satoshi's consensus. The market doesn't want BU because it is not trusted to handle a multi-billion industry.

Miners make money from the users, the users are the market and the market wants Segwitt. BU miners will go bankrupt after a hardfork.

I also believe Core can deliver uss a ''save soft-landing'' hardfork.

It's the giant vs a little mouse. The only thing that little mouse (BU) got is hashpower, that is it.

I highly reccomend you to pick Segwitt and leave BU for what it is.

And here comes the mother of all the wonders: the same people that was vividly attacking BU supporters because "they want to fork and split the network" (and because they are Chinese, and you know, Chinese are bad people) now are cheering the UASF fork and counting the hours until it is deployed.

But you know it doesn't matter if you fork the Bitcoin and create your own BSW crypto (Bitcoin-SegWit) if next the real users don't support it and keep making their transactions in BTC, right?  

probably from your groupy reddit scripters wondering how to hide adam backs CEO puppetry and barry silberts VC extra strings.. by then pretending other implementations have strings..

TL:DR;
dont look at the blockstream puppet strings, look over there we can see everyone else is tied up. but please dont look at blockstreams puppet strings

ever ask yourself.. why within the same month of samson promoting UASF. organising a bounty, declaring a winner and delivering the bounty to the winner, samson also got a new job with blockstream..

let me guess your answer, because his job is just to be a janitor, sweeping the floor.
much like luke Jr pretending not to be a developer at the hong kong agreement but just an individual with as much power as a janitor

P.S
lauda stop defending blockstream employee's.

None of that makes him "official" anything, otherwise we'd have a "official president of Bitcoin" pretty quickly. Although, this title does sound familiar. I wonder where I've heard it?

So if I support an idea, and I wear a cap that has the abbreviation for said idea, then I'm the official leader of this idea? Example: Whoever wears a cap with a Nazi symbol == leader of Nazism? Do you even realize what you're saying

whats on his head. is that a badger?? nope its a UASF cap

This is how updating works, in a decentralized system. BU is therefore not decentralized, but rather the nodes are highly centralized in the hands of Ver & similar. I have destroyed your false claim with 2 screenshots.

You don't need to run anything 24/7.

Such an attack is trivial to detect. Most of these nodes have been online for months/years.

Nobody really cares. UASF is coming.

This does not change the fact that BU code is trash. High-school programmers could create software of better quality.

Unless you have proof that Blockstream has led these attacks, you are truly a shill or just demented.

I predate any of you (including Blockstream and a fair deal of Core developers), and the whole KKK BU Clan (with the lucky exception of Ver). Those who preach the truth by providing data are definitely shills.

v13 was released 9 moths ago, 9!! According to your data, less than 67% of the "nodes" have upgraded to the new version. What a success, considering how good and how necessary it is to implement SegWit! Oh, wait, but lets speak about what a "node" is. Because everybody knows each "node" represents a single honest person running a wallet in his computer connected 24/7 right? Node count can't be manipulated... No one would be so evil to run thousands of virtual machines in multiple instances of Amazon S3, right? LOL

That's the reason why protocols adopt proof-of-wathever to demonstrate consensus, like proof-of-work. And in terms of PoW... let's say that the situation is getting dramatic for SegWit adoption, using mild words.

But you are distracting the focus of what really matters: these attacks on the BU nodes and your FUD messages that follow are being useless as BU adoption is not decreasing in the long term and public opinion is not changing.

If I was at Blockstream I would have fired the strategists due to incompetence: 5 times BU is attacked and 5 times devs fix issues and nodes get back online in less than 24 hours. Without impact in public opinion or node count. I would fire you too of your shill position for similar reasons...



Nothing to add here. That defines you completely  

Posting in a discussion thread != having something to do with a campaign. I'm assuming you're doing some heavy drugs.

He is not leading UASF.

Classic shill talk. How about you first learn Bitcoin?

Small correction: I don't consider people idiots. I know that they are idiots.

Meaning that a huge % of BU node count is heavily centralized.

False.

This could not be further from the reality. Wake up. Statements like these make you look like a complete baboon.

BU crashes more than Windows 95 and Windows ME put together.

They should go into the vacuum cleaner manufacturing business, that could be the only way they build things that don't suck.
