I have been following Bulwark for a little while now, have mined it, traded it, participated in the community discord.

Recently Bulwark had some issues with the block chain forking, I was only present and for one of the forks but the discussion was that a large amount of hash power which was blamed on NiceHash causing a fork of the block chain and the wallets, mining pools and the exchange wallets were out of sync and couldn't decide on which of the now multiple forks was the 'right' one and reach a consensus.  Some of the pools disabled mining, some of the exchanges disabled the wallet so no more withdrawals or deposits. 

The Developer that was present at the time said that this is quite a headache and that since it was decentralized there is nothing they can do about it and to wait and see how to plays out.  At the time of the fork and the influx of hashing power in the magnitudes greater than 51% of the global hash rate there was also a DDoS attack on Bulwark and yes its decentralized but a community actively making a decision on which fork is the real fork and working towards achieving consensus by manipulating nodes is a bit grey.

The developer in the community discord post a list of nodes to add to wallets, that supposedly had the 'right' block chain and urged users to update their wallets.  I did this and erased the block chain and sync'd my wallet with the bsod.pw version of the block chain.  Everything was now in order as far as I was aware.

Today I come online to the discord and to discover that there are MasterNodes on the Bulwark network which are now idle and not earning rewards and the MasterNode owners in the community are trying to fix their MasterNodes so they can start receiving rewards, the developers response was to wait for a new wallet because any work they did now to repair their MasterNode would just have to be repeated when a new wallet was released.  Since MasterNodes are not exactly cheap it would be very understandable that owners would be concerned so I said in the Discord that I would be concern if my MasterNode was idle and not earning rewards.  Which for this I was promptly banned from their discord server.  I made a polite request in their Telegram that my ban be reviewed which prompted my swift ban from their Telegram group also.

I am writing on the forum to see if their is concern about what is happening with Bulwark and its development from the community here, as I have a stake in Bulwark as a crypto but being removed from the community casts some doubt on the whole crypto and its governance.  They seem to be quite happy that the exchanges stopped deposits and withdrawals, now all my conspiracy senses are tingling and I am open to discussion on the matter.

Please let me know what your thoughts are and your opinions on the events, especially if you have experienced them. 

Is NiceHash users to blame for forking a block chain, is it really too much hash power in one place.  Bulwark has always been very centralized due to a couple of very large pools.

Censorship in the community is a huge concern for me, just leads me to believe they are hiding something, who else have they silenced.
