Or the nuclear option...
If BU reaches more then 50% of the mining capacity (& prior to any HF increase of the blocksize) there is the potential to use this fact to push other miners into supporting BU.
At that time BU miners could start to orphan Segwit/Core blocks by actively not building on the last block if it was mined with Segwit support. This could cause financial pain to either miner but with hash power on BU's side the pain would be mostly to the Segwit/Core miner.
Has anyone looked at building code or a BUIP into BU to support something as aggressive as this?
