The Silbert scaling agreement is here

[gentlemand]

https://medium.com/@DCGco/bitcoin-scaling-agreement-at-consensus-2017-133521fe9a77

Segwit with an 80% threshold and then a 2mb hard fork within six months after that.

Some big names. Some glaring omissions.

What do you think of it? What will Core think of it? Will it descend into ever more squabbling or is this enough? Will everyone tell Core to just fuck off when they start to pick it apart?

This is 1000x better and deserves serious exposure and consideration: https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/2017-May/014399.html

lol screw that cludgy 2 merkle crap if your gonna do a hard consensus make it 1 merkle
lol screw the 'witness discount' cludgy maths. if you gonna do a hard consensus just have everything sit in the same area

plus the proposal is not even address the cry baby elephant in the room of the txsigops. which segwit wont fix!!
as for november 2018!

if core have released
 2017-04-22 - Bitcoin Core version 0.14.1 released
2017-03-08 - Bitcoin Core version 0.14.0 released
2017-01-03 - Bitcoin Core version 0.13.2 released
2016-10-27 - Bitcoin Core version 0.13.1 released
2016-08-23 - Bitcoin Core version 0.13.0 released

5 versions in under 9 months
0.13.1 - 0.14.1 = 4 versions in 7 months... im pretty sure that it wont take a year to get everyone to download one version

id say let it get 80% and then have just six month grace.. not a dang year.

the same fools that want to waste a year for HF were the same ones thinking segwit will be activated in 2 weeks..(christmas '16)

Everyone is sick and tired of this debate and the disgusting trolling that comes with it. Let's just get it done and move the fuck on.

It definitely looks more promising than what the last agreement was, I definitely think there is some potential for it to blossom into a full-fledged activation of segwit within the blockchain but it is going to take a while to get everyone on board, especially with the omissions that you mentioned. Looking at the names it's not bad, but there are a lot of people that will need to find their place, otherwise it won't work.
