This is great news. I was getting a bit worried a hard fork would actually happen, but looks like Jihan's little nerd dream to be the emperor of bitcoin will not happen. Sorry, Core wins another day, and now $3000 are actually possible in 2017.
Till now the system worked in a better way and now people need to make it under their control or need to be the emperor as quoted. Days back Craig tried and now it's Jihan Wu. This time through BU he decided to make a win. But now this has not gonna happen which is expected to make a large change in this year.

OP - I think a better title would be that "Bitcoin Core/Blockstream dev exploits BU nodes, patch quickly released"
This is so funny. It's the fault of the Bitcoin developers now, isn't it!? ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) FYI: that bug has been sitting there for over a year. If the BTU takeover would have been successful Bitcoin would be dead now. Pleeeease can you now go and just do what the usual procedure is for untested ideas and flawed code and just make an altcoin out of it and go away? Thank you! We all know that the Bitcoin Unlimited codebase is garbage. ![Cool](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/cool.gif) Hello jonald_fyookball ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) BTU is trash lol, seriously, please stop championing it.

i'll be here giving free hugs when you're crying over BU having taken control from Blockstream. ![Kiss](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/kiss.gif) Exactly why changes don't happen to Bitcoin. It is essentially partisan, I don't like Sidechains and blockstream giving seals of approval and I don't think Bitcoin unlimited is anything but a terrible idea. I used to think blocks needed to be much bigger but I think a lot of people have realized that it isn't the currency replacement it was once thought to be. Just let some altcoin take over small daily transactions and keep Bitcoin for large transactions that need the power and stability of the network. I don't think Bitcoin will succeed unless it can be the digital cash it was originally envisioned to be in Satoshi's whitepaper.

Some of the nodes have come back online, presumably patched, but it's still under 400 on coin dance. I wonder how much time is needed to know how many have patched their clients and restarted them or have abandoned BU after this. It will probably be many days before we know since not all nodes will be attended to or monitored daily.

So are we going for the segwit solution ? With BU suffering a major bug looks like the last hope for bitcoin community is Segwit. The people behind BU must be thinking "hopes and dreams turns to ashes as bitcoin Unlimited falls" I think as long as the community is divided whether to use BU or Segwit to be implemented in bitcoin scaling problem nothing is gonna get solved.

http://www.coindesk.com/code-bug-exploit-bitcoin-unlimited-nodes/Let this be a reminder of what happens when you try to pass the development of a 20 billion dollar project into a bunch of idiots instead of sticking with the time-tested, world-class coders with a conservative mindset that have guaranteed our holdings stay safe for 7+ years. ![](https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fmedia.coindesk.com%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F03%2FCD-768x358.jpg&t=665&c=1WyEwrOlGciSDA) This also proves most BU nodes were single entities with big pockets, probably the work of none other than Bitcoin Jesus himself. If Jihan Wu, Roger Ver and Gavin Andressen still promote this garbage, we all know they don't even care about their holdings and have ulterior motives beyond the idea of naive good intentions. Thats a really bad rep for Bitcoin Unlimited developers. But if the miners support them then what will stop BTC from doing the hard fork? The supporters of the hard fork to Bitcoin Unlimited have said that the network will not split into two. I think it will. Core developers, miners and supporters will never give it up. Is there a guide on how to split your coins? I think we will need that now.

diversity is good.
imagine(shoe on other foot) if the network was just core only and they had a bug.. ... (2013: AKA Sipa's big leveldb boo boo) caused more real damage than just a few nodes going offline
however by having many different implementations and being diverse. means the network continues and people can just run a different node until a bug is fixed.
devs need to start acting independent and helping eachother out. but if core want to kill(rekt) the network to become sole dominant kings. then users wont have diversity to protect them, expect another 2013 Sipa boo boo

Sorry to burst your bubble. Im sure the bug will be fixed and BU back up and running. It's not like Bitcoin never had a serious bug before.
#keepinitreal
It is not a first time when we have major bug in Bitcoin Unlimited code. I remember not that long time ago, month or so, BU pool mined an invalid block which was rejected by the rest of the network due to its invalid size. As a result Core nodes banned BU nodes for 24 hours and it could have been much worse. I wonder how many more bugs BU has.

Maybe the nodes number dropped but I see nothing changing on the the miners signalling , they are almost at 33%. If that continues, It will get activated anyway. Also, since It's a programming bug, can't they simply make a commit and fix it or It can't be done at this point? If this is a fork from "Bitcoin" original repository, how come that Bitcoin core don't have it while they do?

You know franky1, leveldb was rnike heam's brainchild, right? you know the issue was about something not fixed between berkely and leveldb, where by it was not (prior to bug) seen that going for the more efficient LevelDB(which we use today) would cause issues for the berkely locks. and wuille did not see this when he helped migrate to leveldb that the locks would cause issues in his many 'efficiency additions' to 0.8.0
separately why did you intentionally write mike hearns name using RNike heaM (lower case looks like.. rnike heam) i have noticed a few people play with this. you and it seems icebreaker likes to spell it heaM too many times to just be a typo i have also noticed that certain people use certain buzzwords repeatedly that it became obvious there must be a reason. BTUcoin, conservative. ad-hom im guessing there must be a REKT competition going on where certain words/spellings need to be used to be picked up by search

Agree so much i can't write this enough. Especially this part: "conservative mindset that have guaranteed our holdings". This is more needed than rush decisions in matter of blocksize. This is everything, conservative mindset and approach is a must!!

No doubt, there are and will be many other bugs in unlimited. Some of them because of ignorence of unlim devs, some will be put intentionally to compromise Bitcoin, because all unlim shills and roger ver are altcoiners and they are trying to destroy Bitcoin. ![Sad](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/sad.gif)

Let me give you a glimps into the crystal ball.... BU team will say, "Nah, this is nothing and we openly admitted to this mistake and fixed it." The hardcore BU supporters will "patch" and go on as if nothing happened. Let's not throw stones, when we know Bitcoin Core also nearly dropped the ball a few years ago. Bitcoin "holes" has been fixed, by the same guy that are now behind BU. {Gavin} ![Roll Eyes](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif)
