https://bravenewcoin.com/news/bitcoin-exchanges-announce-contingency-plan-for-hard-fork-split/Bitfinex, Bitstamp, BTC China, Bitsquare, Bittrex, Coinfloor, itBit, Kraken, ShapeShift, Zaif, and nine others will
"support Bitcoin Core continuously as BTC and "will not even consider listing BU coin until replay attack protection is in place"
(Replay attack protection is a method to prevent spending of existing coins on *both chains, which would be possible if BU went ahead with its confrontational plan to try to *replace BTC).
We have decided to designate the Bitcoin Unlimited fork as BTU (or XBU). The Bitcoin Core implementation will continue to trade as BTC (or XBT) and all exchanges will process deposits and withdrawals in BTC even if the BTU chain has more hashing power.
Jihan Wu, who recently switched over 75 percent of his mining pool's power to support BU, sulked at the news and referred to the exchanges as not world class level.
"Bitcoin Core developer Jameson Lopp tweeted, It appears that BU devs have no intention of adding replay protection - their plan is to kill the Core chain instead.
But since the exchanges have basically given that idea the big finger, BU will have to figure out how they are going to survive without the exchanges, or accept their fate as just another alt-coin.
We do this not out of judgement or philosophical reasons but rather for practical and operational considerations, the group declared.
Suck it up hard-fork FUDsters.. BU is dead.
