I don't think BU or much else will change in the near future... Status quo" is returning. However BU is gaining back today after a few days of slowing in hash and blocks found. I think if BU was going to happen it would have by now or look more certain anyways, which is does not.

I think the more everyone considers the full scope of a hard fork and the inherent risk, the less attractive it is for a block size solution.

I for one, think the various devs need to go back to the drawing board and present something else. I know miners ultimately hold most of the power to be" but it should be a solution that satisfies most everyone. And find a way for non-miners to have a say. Only thing everyone else can do to be heard is, sell off BTC and put that money in something else. Miners need a buying market to survive.

with BU, non-minning nodes has a say.

I think " if BU was going to happen it would have by now " isn't quite right, BU hasn't had a working solution untill recently, not too long ago it was just an idea.
I think BU isn't quite ready to "takeover", even if everyone loved BU, the quality of the code just isn't there...
Maybe they will step up their game now that a lot of hashrate is backing them?
these things can move pretty fast sometimes, and other times just totally stall.

Wait and see...

BU is a hare-brained piece of shit that doesn't even stand up to a simple first principles analysis. The code implementation is a disaster but in reality that's the least of its problems. The charlatans who wrote the "white papers" backing up it's foundations are a prize bunch of vindictive assholes. The drivel they wrote is a waste of time even reading, I'm just sorry I'll never get that time back Sad

.

Anyone pumping, supporting or god-forbid showing mining support for BU is just simply fucking not worth listening to. Sorry I know it's a favourite of yours but admit it you're mostly a drunken stoner nowadays ... you wouldn't know a good idea if it pissed in your ear.
