Just the clowns at Bitmain. It's not a UAHF by the way, it's a MAHF. And apart from the usual handful of shills this proposal is a laughingstock and will be ignored.

The real question is why they are putting it forth. BIP148 support seemed weak until now based on public evidence as regards the all-important mining pools. I'm betting that some major pools are privately telling Bitmain they are sick of being pushed around by Jihan Wu and they are planning to support BIP148. We'll see if I'm right, but otherwise I can't make sense of this announcement.

Where does Wu think he's going to sell his new JihanCoins?  To the PBOC?

Yes, I'm sure it's the "silent majority", the one which is exclusive to r/btc and doesn't show up in any polls.

I mean with some people it's hard to tell when all they tell you is "I'd prefer not to have BU/Emergent Consensus".

You do realize UASF is really just a hard fork, and one without miner support, right?
