I'm still surprised that BU has more support than segwit after all that has happened the last couple of weeks.
Can anyone explain why miners are apparently against segwit?
Its a massive change that totally rewrites how transactions are done. With any massive change comes risk and loss of robustness. It also requires wallets to be rewritten. It doesn't really provide that much on chain scaling and makes it harder to make future improvements in this area. It will hard if not impossible to undo later.
Then seagwit is retarded. I am totally against fundementally changing the blockchain and wallets. Bitcoin has proven itself to work just the way it is. Why don't they just increase mining power, in PH, problem solved??
