Is this the main reason of the drastic drop in BU hashing rate, and the increase in price over these two days? Has Jihan provided any argument or explanation?

the claim is that 70% of the hashrate is using Bitmain's hardware.
proof of claim? please dont refer to reddit or twitter I have no proof of that claim, nor do I claim that it is true. I am simply stating that that is what people are saying, not that they are saying that Bitmain directly controls that much hashpower (which is what you said). Seems pretty likely though, considering just how dominant BITMAIN is over that industry (very). No one could realistically claim that BITMAIN don't have too much control. If they managed to cause a problem with other people's miners (which they probably could) they could use their own vast mining power to do a 51% attack. Decentralisation is necessary in all aspects of Bitcoin.

Lmao. This pretty much invalidates anything jonald the troll says from now on. The blocksize obsessed trolls/paid shills can't see beyond what number the blocksize has. A guy has a mining monopoly capable of killing the network? Who cares, just raise the blocksize!! Those trolls should be banned. +1 Here we have it R.I.P BU Troll Jonald Fyookball and paid shill Franky1. Is that for real? I was under the impression that Jonald was intelligent. "I don't care if Stalin is shady I like his uniform" ... holy crap

Bitmain fucked up, with no malice as is revealed by the open nature of their code on github. Malware writers do not publish their code for the whole world to see.
Their fuck-up does NOT make Segwit less dangerous and more acceptable. Segwit, BU - both of them are garbage and insecure solutions. Bitcoin should be left as a safe haven crypto with no changes to the protocol.

"I don't care if Stalin is shady I like his uniform" ... holy crap it would only be a worry if bitmain had a exploit against bitfury or bitfury had an exploit against bitmain.. but finding that bitmain "could" only access their own products and "if" they triggered anything they would end up with queues of refunds.. its not as big a deal as say a soft fork that bypasses real network consensus, to add code that if activated changes the network into a tier network without nodes consent/veto ability

Here's the archived version in case that the shill deletes their comments: https://archive.fo/SPPmJBitmain fucked up, with no malice as is revealed by the open nature of their code on github.

This is a false conclusion fallacy. Just because they have published their code on GitHub that premise does not in any way follow to a logical conclusion of benevolent behavior. The backdoor exists in all miners, and can be exploited by malicious actors. Whether that actor is going to be Bitmain or someone else is not of high importance.

So you would buy a Chinese car, which can be disabled by the Chinese car manufacturer which in turn has close ties to Chinese government (and all Chinese companies have close ties, to say it very nicely) And you would say "As long as Ford does not have the exploit against my car I am not worried", well maybe you should cut down on your happy pills LOL With all those happy pills, you can, of course, not see the dangerous situation that would have arisen if a large portion of the worlds hash power could have been disabled instantly (various attacks possible, 51% and below) BTW refunds??!! From China??!!

That is true, Jihad, Antbleed and Asicboost does not mean, Segwit (with blocksize limitation) is good.

You'd think that if bitmain were to cease development on minerlink, they would remove all related code, or even announce that they are working on a fix.
Great to see there are people looking out for these exploits, but I think bitmain really screwed up here.

has anyone looked at bitcoin cores DNS seed managed by mainly blockstreamers vSeeds.push_back(CDNSSeedData("bitcoin.sipa.be", "seed.bitcoin.sipa.be", true)); // Pieter Wuille, only supports x1, x5, x9, and xd vSeeds.push_back(CDNSSeedData("bluematt.me", "dnsseed.bluematt.me", true)); // Matt Corallo, only supports x9 vSeeds.push_back(CDNSSeedData("dashjr.org", "dnsseed.bitcoin.dashjr.org")); // Luke Dashjr

Bitmain was active of this issue for several months, see GitHub: https://github.com/bitmaintech/bmminer/issues/7. They have only rushed to handle this once someone has been exposed to the wider public. all i read is racial slurs against a country.
Facts != racial slurs. long term view not temporary drama that is forgotton about after minutes/days
think about the big picture
Franky on ASICBOOST exposure: All is good. Ignore temporary drama. Franky on AntBleed exposure: All is good. Ignore temporary drama. Franky when someone mentions SegWit: "DOOMSDAY. TEMPORARY GESTURE. BLOCKSTREAM. BOMBS."

PS read the core code and documentation about biasedly rejecting blocks and disconnecting from nodes purely out of version bias, not out of rule validity. its really time you took some time to read less of reddit and more of the actual details

Thank you for the clarification. call me what you like. but now you have go all the insults off your chest go research and try seeing the big picture from the point of view of the bitcoin network. dont wear the blockstream defence cap. wear the critical thinking cap. dont read the reddit scripts. read the code and documentation again not with the utopian dreamer blockstream defence cap look at the big picture, the long term picture. and be truly critical. maybe even worth you repeating to yourself "what if hearne coded this" just to keep your critical mind on track i will just leave you with this thought. knowing that changing PoW requires a network consnsus upgrade to achieve it instead of doubling down on threats just to push segwit as is but done hard.. the blockstream team and fanboys should think of plan B if they are going to pull a pin... actually recode segwit to be 1 merkle and a proper network wide 4mb that is also dynamic and add other community desird features. dont waste the blockstream triggered hard fork event if soft fails to activate, purely to push opposition away, use it to unite the community with proper non cesspit creating network

There's a webpage devoted to this topic.. http://antbleed.comIts hard to tell what's true or not, but antbleed being associated with antpool which is one of the largest supporters of bitcoin unlimited. And so maybe its not difficult to see where the politics come into play here, with many attempting to trivialize this due to them not wanting more criticism against BU.

Godwin's law has been fulfilled, almost. I now assume you are a shill, after all, calling critics racist is exactly what a shill would do to push his agenda. Thank you for the clarification. I've warned you already. You didn't listen to my posts; could have saved yourself some time. Franky on ASICBOOST exposure: All is good. Ignore temporary drama. Franky on AntBleed exposure: All is good. Ignore temporary drama. Franky when someone mentions SegWit: "DOOMSDAY. TEMPORARY GESTURE. BLOCKSTREAM. BOMBS." lol lauda you make me laugh segwit end user features that core promise and promote are the empty promise temporary gesture. but the tier network and control is less than temporary. PS read the core code and documentation about biasedly rejecting blocks and disconnecting from nodes purely out of version bias, not out of rule validity. Ironically you still don't even understand my post yet claim to read and actually understand the code (not even in fantasies). Both ASICBOOST and AntBleed are evil. Until you are willing to both accept and admit this fact, you are obviously very biased and/or paid. Politics and scaling aside, the statement about A&A is factual. Its hard to tell what's true or not, but antbleed being associated with antpool which is one of the largest supporters of bitcoin unlimited.
It's very easy to see what's true. It takes <30 seconds. Stop shit posting for your campaign.

There are standard backdoors in everything from hardware routers to iphones(I'm not certain many posting in this thread know that). Not everyone has time to look at the specifics of the exploit & figure out whether it can be used to gain root access in a way that would allow someone to steal crypto or do some other nefarious deeds.
