This is a clear intent to break everything and make it too chaotic to be usable.

Actually because of the defaults set in BU it is more likely to follow the longest chain regardless of what the blocksize will be. Therefore it can be argued that BU is better for end users since if they where using Core instead they would be forked off the network when the blocksize is increased. BU allows for continued compatibility with the Bitcoin blockchain regardless of what blocksize proposal is adopted, unlike both XT and Core which will need to be upgraded and or patched in order to maintain consensus with the economic majority depending on the blocksize proposal that is chosen. Bitcoin Unlimited on the other hand maintains compatibility with other proposals out of the box from day one using the default settings.

Indeed.  For people who want to track consensus regardless of the who/what/where/when/why of the eventual block size limit increase, Bitcoin Unlimited is the best choice.  



Why are you posting that picture? Is the RED supposed to induce a negative emotion? Is RED supposed to be wrong?

BU is full of flaws and allows for Sybil attacks.

[a]The crowd here are capable of thinking for themselves, this is not some political campaign where you just utter the same words over and over and show us 4 colored boxes. It means absolutely nothing that you draw those boxes. Its insulting how you present your option.

[a] Then what's the point of your post?

If you imagine that the block size issue would turn quickly towards something like bitpay nodes, wouldn't it be "safer" to run BU? I'm not saying that this is the saving grace of BU, just that this point might be more relevant now than it has been.

Nobody cares about XTurd or Unlimiturd.  They had their chance, but failed to get more than 0.001% of the network to support them.

Bitcoin Ultra is the new hawtness.   Cheesy

And BTW, what happened to the "Watch out Core, XT is going to take over in January" threats?

Did you forget about that?  Too bad; I have not.
