the funny thing is
you ask a question
i give you an answer thats actually has the link to what you asked..
here i quote the link itself
What is a UASF?
UASF stands for User Activated Soft Fork. It’s a mechanism where the activation time of a soft fork occurs on a specified date enforced by full nodes
meaning its an oppertunity core could have used to do a proper job seeing as they are now including full nodes
The August 1st date allows for the economic majority to successfully activate SegWit. Theoretically, if the hashpower drops by up to 85%, it might take up to 13 weeks to complete an activation period. In this scenario, SegWit will still activate for all BIP148 compliant nodes.
meaning if if only hit 80% the "might take upto 13 weeks to complete an activation period" will be longer than 13 weeks. meaning issues.
which i then proved with
A flag day activation for SegWit would be the next logical steps and require coordination of the community, most likely towards the end of 2018.
but hey if all you do is want to copy and paste "shill".. then maybe you need to check your glasses if you dont like the answers rather than realise that blockstream cant take no for an answer. or realise that blockstream are wasting YEARS (upto late 2018) just to do half a job that not everyone likes even when that oppertunity could have been used better
P.S the blocking of certain blocks after activation of segwit (either bip9 or uasf) is not about just 'empty block guys or fake tx guys.
its about any pools that have said no to segwit.
meaning blockstream are doing all they can to get their 2merkle half assed version of segwit in to create their tier network.
rather than using the opportunity to get a 1merkle segwit with dynamic blocks and other features that can only be done by a node upgrade.
but its all been wordplayed by saying "economic nodes" and "user activated soft" even though it is about nodes needing to upgrade which in reality and no wordplay is hard consensus
..
(soft=pools only)
consensus = majority accepted
contentious/controversial no clear majority
(hard=nodes and pools)
consensus = majority accepted
contentious/controversial no clear majority
meaning UASF (without word play) is actually a hard consensus (not hard contentious/controversial).
