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??

Jonald keeps talking nonsense about segwit for some reason.

Wallets that aren't updated can still recieve regular transactions, also all relevant online wallets are segwit ready so this is a non issue. All relevant software is also segwit ready or in progress:

Also miners that are pro-BU should explain how they call segwit risky while BU not being risky while trying to keep a straight face.

It's pointless arguing with the shills, they're paid to do this. I'll say this though, franky1 ALMOST has me convinced he's not a paid shill, at least paid to shill for BU. His hate for Blockstream though is on another level, like he's been personally slighted by them or something. Definitely seems personal.
