We are aiming to have four votes per year, which is about the maximum appropriate for the org. The previous vote concluded mid-march, so the next is scheduled for June.

It looks like BU has a majority of nodes, but is not trying to convince miners / mining pools to use it, why not?

Why are Bitcoin SV nodes allowed to connect to my BU node? They should be using their own network, is there no detection for nodes on the wrong chain in BU?

@Georg Engelmann BSV nodes that contain BSV in the client string are banned on connection. If they are not they will be banned shortly due to broadcasting bad information (bad in the sense that it is on the wrong chain).

We are always actively trying to convince miners/mining pools to use our software.

I have noticed that some "Bitcoin SV" (user agent string says so) nodes have downloaded a lot of data from my BU node and there was no disconnect. Maybe there was no invalid data on initial block download?

Okay.
