Title: Did they leave yet?
Post by: vinaha on August 05, 2017, 03:40:24 PM
So maybe this is a stupid question but I'm not following everything THAT closely lately (got a life to live) - but did all the opponents of segwit and Blockstream leave and go mine their own thing? (Bitcoin Cash) Or is Bitcoin Unlimited and Classic and stuff still mining BTC?
How relevant is NodeCounter.com anymore?

yes this is stupid one. I mean why should they leave? The bitcoin holders got much earnings from this and have completely trust on bitcoin form that is why they continue investing and trading. Yes all the segwit and block stream leave because they did not able to compete in market and yes bitcoin is unlimited and also pretty good for trading business and making block chains.

Now that is how to shitpost.  Well done, sir.

Not all supporters of BU/EC have gone off to mine Bitcoin Cash.  BITMAIN's stance on Bitcoin Cash, for example, is unclear, and they are a particularly large supporter of Bitcoin Unlimited.  For now, BITMAIN are not directing their pools' hashrate at Bitcoin Cash.

However, I would argue that consensus is now favouring at least the SegWit part of the New York Agreement (and we'll find out about the hard fork later).

The important thing is that you can signal for SegWit and still signal for Bitcoin Unlimited.  All of the supporters of Bitcoin Unlimited are now signalling for SegWit because of BIP 91 (and before that, most of them had been signalling SegWit).
