You guys need to stop double/ triple posting.

What made someone to fork Core and create BU in 2015? back then there was no SW and as we can see in these 2 years Core managed to hold the entire network together.
I want the reason for BU in 2015 what was the reason? if answer is banks were trying to buy Core team then that's just another lie.

Most of the services and exchanges are ready or want SegWit there are however some key exchanging services undecided or with no instance on any available proposals.
If miners want bigger blocks and don't care about 1GB extra data daily, if they can maintain current node count after 6 months past from mining blocks of 2MB/4MB/8MB if they can guarantee fast confirmations and low fees and a stable network functioning without any problem then why not?

But even they know something is not right with BU.

What everyone are missing-> consensus in a decentralized environment won't happen, what are you guys arguing about wasting your time? I guess not even Satoshi saw the possibility of a malicious party with enough incentive and power to veto the consensus.
2 years ago you could mine 1000 blocks with 30% of the current hash power and 2 years from now this hash rate will become 30% of total hash power then, but what gives the miners all these funds to insanely increase their hash rate? yes people's money, simple fact that if users/ people/ community stop paying miners what they're asking in price they will no longer be able to continue growing but yet all miners are doing is power play/ politics/ greed/ power hunger wanting to control, in case if you didn't know this is exactly what happened with the giant money organizations/ central banking/ private sectors/ rich families taking over the world economy system, and that is exactly what's happening only in total chaos/ decentralized one.
No rule/ no law no governor.

I think there is a very damn good reason why we need governments/ sheriffs/ police/ law enforcement, we're just too high on the weed we're smoking called "cash/BTC" so we can't see it yet.

Does it really matter who has what and who does what? ever since the cold war and SU falling apart Russian haven't attacked any other country unlike USA, they have attacked VN/ Afgh/ Iraq/ Syria and dozens of other countries, I wonder which country we should trust more with having mass destruction weapons, the one which never used them on anyone or the one raining bombs like fire cracker?

What a coincidence right about the time of this topic being posted the entire forum goes under, as it was many countries people without successful connection to forum and still happening til a few hours ago.

What concerns me however is the audacity of some world power countries such as USA, since they get their way either by force military or economic, intimidation of weaker countries and essentially what we see they are capable of doing every day now, what could stop them from banning/ blocking/ sanctioning ISPs worldwide if they were to allow any bitcoin network port connections if some day bitcoin grows big enough for them to feel threatened?

People with a lot of stuff pierced into their body and even in some awkward parts of their body and their proud of them like it's their heavenly duty.
I wouldn't mind if something harmless like eye contact lens or ear pierce but nothing that requires surgery though.

Seriously, why am I the only one seeing this? take another look and stop denying, price was going down for 10 hours that forum was inaccessible for most of the people and again started to rise back up since 6 hours ago exactly around the time when forum was accessible.
Lets DOS the forum again to see if I'm right, obviously you have no idea how does markets work, by emotion of course.
People felt tense started to go in negative direction but now we're heading upwards.
I guess I'm the only one noticing this.

So according to this map Chinese are the smartest people? no wonder those little fellows ASICboostraped us all for more than a year or so
I'd say let bitcoin first answer our needs, us the loyal users the always in the scene community and then think about other people, besides everyone are free to use the network if their government allowing them though.

For now there are some people lining their pockets waiting for an eminent hard fork to happen to secure their next 10 generations

I'd put a big flashing middle finger to pop up whenever someone opens the main page anyone connecting from any country the back ground should change to their country's flag then would've made the pages sliding horizontally and every sub-page/ sub-folder/ sub-menu vertically aligned to their main page, no clickable links whatsoever.

I would've implemented a service in which people could just by opening the site and entering a link to a software then download that software then run it on your dedicated vps which after registering and paying the cost they could always access their vps through your site but that would require heavy skills in coding.

Edit: now be a nice person and send me my 0.5BTC gift.

All I see are idiots after idiots, what son? when you say God sent His son it means that a male penetrated a female and after 9 months a child was born.

Sent to be killed so you idiots can do whatever you want and then go have fun in heaven right?

I don't get it why would you people blame something environmental on someone else? kids in pictures are environmental but not that God didn't know anything about them no, first you guys stop killing/ raping/ stealing then ask for a perfect world, everything you see are signs of God, He can do whatever He wants and no one can stop him.

one question> why do you care if there is any God or not at all? now that some claim that there is and here is what He has asked you to do, are you doing them, are you following the path?

Just live your life as you see fit until you die, and don't say later that no one told you, that no one warned you, don't say later that why didn't you send some one to bring us something to guide us?

You have been given the chance and the warnings, from there it's all up to you, stop making excuses and argue with other people while they are clueless as all of us, some of us have faith and have received the grace as the result but some still struggling because have doubts in our hearts.

You don't believe in God? fine, it's not like anyone can keep you safe or hidden from Him, when God wills something there is nothing to be done to stop Him, who do you think you are to defy a power capable of creating galaxies? please we all are just tiny little things mingling on a tiny little planet yet with the audacity beyond our capabilities.

If you take a look at 24 hours chart at any source you would like you'll see right about the time forum went down price started to drop by the hour.

What is that "scaling and transaction list" signature I often see some members wearing? you know what I think? I think bitcoin has this problem in it's roots where it gives the miners the freedom to either include transactions in blocks or simply ignore them and mine empty blocks, I mean in a decentralized network where people need their transactions to be processed then those with the means and the power to do so can selectively deny people. though full nodes can easily validate transactions as they have the full blockchain and miners could keep mining but again the issue with double spends comes to play and discussing that is out of scope of this topic.

But tell me something, why don't BU dev(s) take SW then remove whatever they don't like and then publish it for miners to choose? I might have some clue why they're not doing that, because they want their version to be used no question asked, if BU was Satoshi's vision then why did BU nodes crashed? take any version before BU introduced to the network and perform the same attacks to see if they as well crash or not? if not then why did they tamper with Satoshi's vision themselves?

Could you back your claims up by showing the evidence of a trojan horse? I mean show us the code and explain line by line where you think those soldiers are hiding inside the horse you feel me?

I want to know what happens if everyone start running Core and activate SW? everyone will be on the same boat and they can take advantage of the trojan horse can't they?

But if BU becomes the majority guess who will get the most of it? ASICboost implemented miners, aka Chinese, aka some miners will mine suddenly 6MB blocks taking all the fees and leave slower/ smaller miners empty handed forcing them to mine empty blocks since some powerful pools have taken and included all the transactions.

All I hear about SW from you people is just this "trojan horse" and nothing whatsoever. show me, explain to me like I did about BU and powerful mining pools and ASICboost hard ware.

In order for me to get 0.1 I need to first deposit 0.1? f*ck no, who do you think are we? if you were offering 0.1 and then we could wager some bets with it then only if we won ten times of that amount we could've request withdrawal I'd be trusting you the rest of the year to gamble in your casino.
But this? hell no, keep your coins for yourself.

Tried from Ashburn/ New york/ London/ middle east and only now I got the 504 error page which I didn't before, though I was good while with Romania IP this morning.
Every time I get the 504 page it means server company is on to the issue and then everything goes well after couple hours.

Time out connection since morning, DDOS much?

I don't know how can that help bitcoin in the long term? we don't need more small transactions like faucets dust, what we need is transactions starting at $10 as the smallest one so when you pay $0.5 as a fee it doesn't have any pressure on you and it also doesn't fill up the mempool.

Currently without SW in play miners are happy with their revenue of high paid fees, but I'm afraid of the time when bitcoin users start to feel like no one really cares about the currency but their own profit.

However I like to see more and more online services accepting/ adopting the use of bitcoin and hopefully soon fees start to drop and even more people will be attracted to use bitcoin.
I hate those services only pay in paypal as well but we need to make sure bitcoin doesn't end up being like or even worse than paypal.

You already have received the coins in your address here check this out.

I don't know why people tend to use wallets which doesn't give them private keys to their addresses? if this case is like that then whatever happens is on you, you should never trust your bitcoins to anything but the saved (somewhere safe) private keys.

Not only 30% of earth's core is of pure gold but even our moon could contain millions of tones of pure gold since moon is the biggest remaining part of the collision between earth and mars 2 billion years ago.
Gold is truly GOLD you know what I mean? but when I put some thoughts on it after a while I realized what happens if someday I want to run away go migrate to another country due to war or anything political related then if I'd wanted to take my wealth with me which I accumulated over past 30 years all in gold bars how the hell could I take them with me considering I myself might even need to hide in some tight place to escape.

Then comes to my mind, oh well I could've easily converted them all to bitcoins way back when everything were safe and sound and either write some private keys on a paper or just save it in the cloud and have access to them from virtually any where on this planet with access to internet.
I mean it bitcoin truly is better than gold in many cases.

All they have is because of the holy cities of Muslims, when it's prayer time everyone leaves their shops open and go to the mosque anyone having the audacity to steal anything will lose one hand no question asked
I gotta tell you that those rich sheikhs pay for young and beautiful girls overtly.

Lets not giving them too much credit though as they might feel funny in their bellies and fund terrorism if they find it more convenient and discrete.

All they have is by the grace of God otherwise it's just desert.
