@Trading_Macro This FUD has always been about a system crash, not a temporary exchange rate crash.
2015: “Bitcoin will crash when it hits the capacity cliff.”
2016: “Any day now, folks.”
2017: “No, really…”
@kristovatlas Fun fact: you can tell that directly to @CobraBitcoin now. https://t.co/AV7PBmcFu1
@TuurDemeester @brucefenton I don’t think goal is to switch, but to coerce Core to adopt block size increase.
@officialmcafee You’re gonna need more slack in your waistband!
@eyeone @LukeDashjr Numbers are believable; my own well-connected node has 78,000 peer addresses in its database. https://t.co/GfGilp39Gf
@eyeone Correct; https://t.co/U96d2oGEOH and bitnodes only count reachable nodes. Bitnodes /used/ to count all node… https://t.co/NQ9TsHpx0F
@CU_Griffith There’s no counting method that can associate nodes with entities. Though sometimes can infer via abno… https://t.co/MX7dcNJue6
@CU_Griffith There are, you just can’t connect to most because they’re behind NATs. Bitnodes used to use same count… https://t.co/hss7A3jFg6

@alxduma Not really possible to count on the network; you’d have to look at app store downloads and whatnot.
@ajnelsn @AaronvanW has been doing a good job writing about the intricacies of each fork for @BitcoinMagazine
@eyeone https://t.co/9tGEfMcsDw isn’t showing BU Cash nodes. https://t.co/WfxZYWOySD

@uk_c_c Yes they can, and it’s usually painfully obvious when they do.
@GaravagliaJuan Node count can’t be /trusted/ but it is a metric we’ve been tracking for many years and shouldn’t be completely ignored.
@hcarpach Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin Gold, Bitcoin 2X
@prestonjbyrne Just a few miles from my house. Best be strapped up in that neighborhood.
Next month there will be 4 Bitcoin forks. But one of them will siphon value from others, like a mother bear devouring her sickly offspring.
@kallerosenbaum Did I miss any SPV wallets that support it in this list? https://t.co/uwG1imCGJP
The question for longer term comes down to markets. If BTC only has 15% hashpower but S2X has 15% exchange rate, what do you think happens?
Safe to assume that at least for a while, SPV nodes will use S2X chain if they connect to an S2X node. This is your warning, SPV users.
@jgarzik Sure, some implementations already ceded the power to decide block size to miners. Total of ~2% of nodes A… https://t.co/2sezExd0gt
From what SegWit2X supporters say, sounds like they’re fine w/leaving 98% of fully validating nodes behind if they can drag SPV nodes along.
There’s an argument to be made that the few hundred SegWit2X nodes are more economically important. It’s hard to be… https://t.co/8BrAKkGgWZ
There are 5 times as many bcash nodes as SegWit2X nodes and yet we’re supposed to believe the latter has consensus to become Bitcoin.
Mandrik I’ve worked in BTC user ops for nearly 5 years and have personally responded to 25,000+ unconfirmed tx tickets. I do not support Segwit2x.
