Hey,
I don't know if it is only me or it happened to someone else before but I see squirrel in several posts
Here is an example


Is it only me?  related to my browser (UC browser mobile)? I didn't change any configuration from a long time, weird bug!

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

Is this the post you're looking at? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1163169.msg16657283#msg16657283

No, I see no squirrels...  I'd suggest running your antivirus.

That was a funny virus or error you have there. Haha. Probably, something on your pc is translating emoticons to squirrels. Cute error tho. You might have installed something to do this automatically.

The dude said he is running a mobile browser guys  Grin Why should he run an antivirus on a phone?

Something is probably messed up with the UC browser. I use the mobile versions of Opera and Firefox and haven't had any issues so my suggestion is to try another browser and see if these pesky squirrels are still there or have disappeared in the meantime.

Indeed i am using my phone but I have an antivirus there as well and everything seems to be fine Tongue

Yeah it appears that theses squirrels are no more also the English flag disappeared (i didn't mention, just saw it 2 times) but the squirrel popped in many posts
Anyway i checked it now and it seems to be fine. Apparently it is a bug related to uc browser.
Thanks for your reply friends, i was worried
I will lock this topic now and will report this bug if it happened again Undecided (tho in the first place it was an admin birthday or something important that made this happened lol)
