Title: Who signed The New York Agreement?
Post by: ELI85 on September 22, 2017, 02:46:25 AM
There's a lot of stuff I don't understand being thrown around.
So I just want to ask a very simple question...
"Who signed The New York Agreement?"
Thanks

It was a sort of decision made by two opposing parties of the scaling solution debate. The agreement was pretty much to activate SegWit first then to hardfork days or like a week or so later to hard fork the base block size to 2MB.

I don't know that I qualify as a "hodler" as I only started buying in the past couple weeks, but thanks for what I consider sound advice.
I noticed that of the original signatories to The NYA, some 20% are Chinese, and I dare say, essentially defunct for all practical purposes for the foreseeable future.
Any thoughts would be welcomed.

It is unclear who signed the agreement but it is clear that the agreement was fluid. It is getting less and less support and some companies thought to be involved are now dropping out.
