Not a bug, it's how emergent consensus works. All the nodes crash and the last node standing decides the consensus rules. Better known as consensus by DoS.
And you are?
Last man standing?
He was being sarcastic.

can someone explain to me in a non-drama kind of way, why is this becoming a common thing with BU? specially since it is a fork of bitcoin! i mean they literary forked bitcoin/bitcoin on github, so what did they change to lead to bug after bug and crash after crash?
They have forked an old version of Bitcoin Core (0.12.x) and have written their own code for things such as Emergent Consensus, Xthin, et. al. However, their developers are extremely incompetent and there is basically no quality assurance process.
