Title: CSV Locked-in!
Post by: MeteoImpact on June 23, 2016, 08:44:10 AM
Not sure if anyone posted this earlier when it happened, but the CSV softfork has now reached its mining consensus threshold and will activate in ~a couple weeks (https://bitcoincore.org/en/2016/06/21/csv-softfork-instructions/). If anyone was wondering why, "support", for the softfork has been dropping off on measures like these (https://coin.dance/blocks), it's because miners are now switching off their signalling as not to cause unwarranted warning messages after activation.

Personally, I'm impressed that miners were able to reach the 95% consensus threshold in the fairly timely manner that they did. Hopefully segwit's activation can go smoothly as well so developers can really start to roll out the first wave of payment channel implementations ;D
