Greg Maxwell doesn't support BIP 148 UASF

Stop hoping for segwit via UASF.  It ain't gonna happen for sure.

Funny thing, Greg makes this post to the mailing list this morning after I challenged him for his doublespeak about it last night, here:

Read again Roger. Gmaxwell says BIP148 doesn't meet the required standards, he doesn't say UASF as a whole is a ruled out idea. A more refined BIP would pass.

At the end of the day segwit will get enabled one way or another and we all know this.

sure... just not necessarily on Bitcoin.

The intention of the HK meeting was to enable the SegWit together with the 2MB block.

Greg is right here, I think. In my opinion it's better to start with his proposed Asicboost-blocking UASF - that would be a minor change but would allow us to see the real incidence of this "optimization" (or "attack") and would nearly sure be supported by a majority of miners. Then we could move forward with Segwit UASF, somewhere near end-2017 to mid-2018.
