I lol so hard at the BU blocks. Why? Why oh why! -edit- looks like the BU blocks are slowly dying so whoever was running BU nodes is slowly migrating.
Never fear, the big blockers will be back with their next hard fork coup attempt in the guise of bitcoinABC. And Band of UASF Brothers will be waiting for them again. We till throw them into the sea just like the last time. Yes. We tremble in fear from the image of pasty geeks trying to look tough grasping poorly maintained implements of vegetation maintenance.  |

... and for the love of all that is Bitcoin, take all of your BTC out of anywhere where you don't control the keys.....
Definitely do this too. Right now everyone should be pulling everything out of the exchanges they've been treating as banks. It boggles the mind why people keep on doing this. Why? Can't exchange without exchanging. I'm up over a full Bitcoin in just the last two days by capitalizing on the volatility. Even an SPV wallet is better!
For some use cases, yes. For others, no. At least with those you own the private keys. If the exchanges have issues your coins could be locked away until they sort out their problems.
An acknowledged risk. Which is why I hold the bulk of my BTC on an airgapped system Armory install, with networked watch-only wallet running atop Bitcoin Unlimited, on my non-mining, fully validating node. But I do have a small portion of my BTC on exchange. The return has been demonstrated to be well worth the risk
Oh look! Price just dropped to my next standing buy order. Pocket another 23 mills of profit, enter corresponding sell. Lather, rinse, repeat. ^^ that's why. |

If you have to ask "why?", you wouldn`t understand my answer.

True, but I was thining of the people who use the exchange wallet as a "savings account" . These people are not really traders. Traders I totally understand needing to leave some btc on the exchange's hot wallet. with networked watch-only wallet running atop Bitcoin Unlimited, on my non-mining, fully validating node.
Eewwwww, Bitcoin Unlimited *plugs nose*. I kid, I kid. So you gonna join the great SegWit revolution? |

Eewwwww, Bitcoin Unlimited *plugs nose*. I kid, I kid. It's even worse - it's an older version from before the DoS attacks / bug failures - not the newer patched and hardened variety. Oh-the-hugemanatee!.gif So you gonna join the great SegWit revolution?
Only if forced, kicking and screaming. I will never accept SegWit coins as being the true equivalent of Bitcoins. For they are not. They are but a cheap substitute. With a vastly inferior security model. |

A few are holding out or have reverted while they get clarification on the latest problem with the fork as pointed out to them by gmaxwell here https://github.com/btc1/bitcoin/issues/85 . They're waiting to see how bad an issue it might be in the real world before deploying it (+/- again). |

They're waiting to see how bad an issue it might be in the real world before deploying it (+/- again). That's not a very probable "issue". It was very good that gmaxwell caught it but I don't think it will a serious cause for concern. There are manual methods the nodes can ensure that they communicate with each other. But I suppose it's the prudent thing to do. |

 I mean let's just wrap this up before the next bit of drama (everyone groan and say 2mb hard fork together) .... (Bitcoin the hot mess bi-polar girlfriend you can't live without) |
Old Style Legacy Plug & Play BBS System. Get it from www.synchro.net. Updated 1/1/2021. It also works with Windows 10 and likely 11 and allows 16 bit DOS game doors on the same Win 10 Machine in Multi-Node! Five Minute Install! Look it over it uninstalls just as fast, if you simply want to look it over. Freeware! Full BBS System! It is a frigging hoot!:) |

Yesterday Bitfury was signaling bip 91, today they changed to segwit. I'm tracking this through xbt.eu |

267 blocks before current lock-in period ends. Still 212 blocks needed for a lock-in. https://www.xbt.eu/this is less than 80 % needed ... And last 144 blocks say 81.9% - so it should be ok .... 44.5 h to go |

I thought I read somewhere here that f2pool actually wanted to signal bip 91 but had ddos attacks preventing them to update their clients. But couldn't find a public announcement about this. http://news.8btc.com/f2pool-under-a-wave-of-ddos-attacksI don't know if they getting ddosed because they haven't yet signaled bip 91.  Its always funny to see Roger Ver signaling BU. |

I've been asking the same question myself. The aswer probably is that Ver isn't a good programmer/cryptographer to invent a new coin. The whitepapers of ethereum and zcash for example are way beyond his IQ capacity  Another reason is that if a coin is a fork to bitcoin it will attract more the pump groups in Poloniex. |
