Question about tools that show mining support for scalability solutions...

[Stockypotty]

Sorry for the newbie question, but someone on Reddit linked this site: https://coin.dance/blocks

In response to Barry s said: "We now have miners representing 69.2% of the bitcoin hash rate in support of the scaling compromise".

Looking at it isn't there only 38% support for the scaling compromise?

Thanks in advance.

i guess he's still in the negotiating phase.

what started bitcoin unlimitied/emergent consensus off was the failure to implement the original agreement of segwit with a 2mb hard fork. that happened between chinese miners and a few bitcoin developers. both parties reneged on it, and others claimed it wasn't legitimate so here we are now.

when things fall into place then maybe we'll see the signalling change.

Yeah sorry, meant more like, is that tool I linked accurate in showing support for Barry's middle ground? Are we looking for 95% on the segwit bar for the middle ground to go through?

Cheers

that's the tool that will tell you. it looks like nothing's organised yet though. wait for some more information and then maybe we'll see some movement on there. it's possible they might give it a new name.

i don't think 95% will ever be realistic. they'd have to reduce it to 75-85% to stand a chance.

I see cool thanks. So when Barry made these tweets: https://twitter.com/barrysilbert/status/865076196845006848

In theory that segwit bar was 78% etc at the time of his tweets? And then it's gone back down?

[European Central Bank]

no. it's never been anywhere near that. there would've been alot more excitement if it had.

i think the highest might have been 41% ish. most of the time it's varied between late 20s and early 30s.

he must be referring to people who are currently signalling unlimited/consensus agreeing to his idea and they'll make the switch to whatever when they're happy.

[Stockypotty]

Right ok cool, so is there any tool that shows this signalling? Or is this more backend data type deal?

[European Central Bank]

it will show up on coin.dance, but the signalling hasn't started yet. that's if they actually agree to it. it could all be bullshit. it's all talk for now still. if they do get serious it'll be publicly accessible information.

Cool awesome thanks a bunch for clarifying!

Appreciate your time.

All the best
