other non blockstream endorsed implementations are just plodding along not making threats and even laughing at blockstreams attempt to get non-blockstream implementations to split, by simply saying 'no thanks we wanna stay as a peer network'
Sorry, I can't figure out what you are saying here.  Undecided


lets kill 2 birds with one stone
1. blockstream wantis the network to split to give blockstream dominance
2. non blockstream implementations refusing to split.. wanting to keep the diverse implementations on an level/even playingfield

but in his own words
What you are describing is what I and others call a bilateral hardfork-- where both sides reject the other.

I tried to convince the authors of BIP101 to make their proposal bilateral ... Sadly, the proposals authors were aggressively against this.

The ethereum hardfork was bilateral, probably the only thing they did right--
