Prospective members are asked to provide a public key which they will use for voting. Bitcoin Unlimited is a participatory organization where we do ask that people devote a small amount of time, every couple of months to guide the direction of the software and org itself.

Only legacy addresses are used in the voting system at present.

More links to external posting history (e.g. Twitter, Medium, Facebook, Reddit) are welcome, and I'll add them here. In the current adversarial climate the links prove helpful to existing members to make their evaluation.

@singularity , @JettScythe ; can you link me to, or descibe your current view of BSV?

 

[JettScythe]

@bitsko Care to elaborate on how this relates to my BU membership?
I am not interested in BSV.

 

[bitsko]

@JettScythe I am only voting yes to people interested in BSV

Thanks for your response.

Hi @JettScythe,

What % of BU reserves should be stored as BCH?
Should BU consider supporting blockchains besides BCH?
Thoughts about BCH logo color?

Thank you!

 

[JettScythe]

@dgenr8 That should be decided by the vote. I think it makes the most sense to have the most exposure to the very thing you're working on.

Are those other blockchains interested in being "peer to peer electronic cash" as the whitepaper lays out, without a centralized or trusted third party? I only see one making that attempt at the moment.

I like green. I don't give a damn how people wanna color it though to be quite honest.

@JettScythe : I'm saddened by the recent lack of quorum on your application to become a new BU member.

I hope this doesn't deter you from continuing your participation in the project, and applying again in the future.

 

[JettScythe]

@freetrader as am I, and it's incredibly deterring.
Even more so that I actively have the BSV cult rejecting me, despite the fact that as it stands BU has no SV implementation.
I understand if people were hesitant to vote from an unknown name, but there was a comprehensive set of links to learn all they needed to know.
I was recommended I contribute without being a member to ease my way in.
I won't be applying again unless this organization starts to behave like they care about the culture and outcome of this tech.
