Segwit2x reached 80%

[1Referee]

There were some people that thought there were would be them and their orphaned wallet balance left to roast in the sun

Weird sentence set up, but if I understand it right, you're referring to people being worried about "losing" their coins in case of a chain split? In case of an unsuccessful hard fork, the original chain splits in two active chains (it will mean that there is still the original Bitcoin, plus you have an altcoin as bonus), which means that every coin you had before the chain split, will be available in the other chain as well. No one will lose any coins - people shouldn't pay attention to trolls spreading fud.

We are now at 86,1% :-)

Even if we hit 100% right now, at this point this doesn't say much at all. It could take a good 3 months before the hard fork finally takes place, so it will require a good level of patience from everyone.

I wouldn't call that patience.  It's a pretty hasty attempt at implementation if you ask me.

It could all fall apart yet.  SegWit supporting miners could decide not to support the hard fork later, which would cause absolute heaps of arguments and more drama regardless of whether or not it's necessary.

It's nothing more than a tiny step forward, and that's really it. That explains why the market hasn't really bumped much even though this can be seen as very important news.

I'd say it's because 90% of new Bitcoin buyers are brainless speculators and technical analysts who don't give the slightest shit about how promising something could look.  That said, there might be a hype spiral starting before SegWit activation.

That's why Bitcoin Knots is here.
This is a normal Bitcoin Core with BIP148 command line enforcement possibility.

Like the UASF modified version of Bitcoin Core.
So ... around the 20 july, we will have somes members that they switch to enforce the Segwit over everything.

Code:

UASF =            Enforce Segwit at 1 August (clear, simple).
Bitcoin Knots =   Choose to enforce Segwit like UASF or follow the majority (BIP148 command line).
Bitcoin Core =    Follow the majority (no possibility to enforce Segwit).

We are now at 86,1% :-)

And yes, majority of the miners signals for SegWit2x so there's no need to worry.
Just too excited for the outcome of the correction. Lets hope for the better.

Is the SegWit coming or what? Everyone says different things

There is an information that it starts on the 1st of August. Really don't know what it will bring to us and how it will affect on bitcoin and alts price.

[Amph]

Is the SegWit coming or what? Everyone says different things

probably yes, but it's tricky, because it's a combination of segwith which require 95% and 2mb hard fork, and from my understanding some miners don't like that the hard fork it's done after the activation in segwit2x...

then you have the UASF users that don't like miners, and don't like the fact that miners are agianst the second part of activation of segwit2x, the hard fork of 2mb, than the core team which is not pro all this

ah soap opera indded

Again bitcoin core could just block the hardfork yet correct?

This compromise will just remove the segregated witness roadblock.

I just can't see core rolling over on this and giving all this future power

On development to the miners. Cave from their view on decentralization and

If they believe themselves, still believe a hard fork is dangerous and impractical.

It will likely be another year of FUD, if they can't even agree to meet in person.

Imho. Damn well hope I'm dead wrong.

well no one can block anythiung here, because bitcoin is decentralized and based on con sensus, so if the majority want segwit2x this will happen regardless of everythign else

but then you have that if the exchange are not with segwit2x and remain with the old fork or want pure segwit, they will not listen the hard fork and therefore it's no different than having a new altcoin

the exchange now are on the fence it seems, it's not know what they are with it

So if enough people want seq wit 2 that part is on. But are there enough in bitcoin core
camp to block the 2mb hard fork? That is what I thought. Someone clarify? I'd bet bitcoin
core could dig up enough to stop 2mb hard fork. Details on how I'm wrong with how this works?
