i think we can be 99.999% sure SegWit is locked in with BIP91 because according to https://coin.dance/blocks currently 183 out of 336 blocks (79.6%) are signalling their support and it only needs 80%.

there are 106 more blocks remaining from the 336 blocks but unless someone changes his mind, or new hashrate appears on the network with adding a huge amount to total hashrate i don't think this percentage can go down.

so far F2pool is the only big miner that is not signalling despite supporting the BIP91 for some weird reason which people call "trolling". maybe they wish to pull another LTC swing on us before the 2x rise comes

PS. 106 blocks is about 17-18 hours.

All I want personally right now is not to have a chain split even If there a risk for that in the future because a lot of people disagree with the block size increase. We are getting there:

Anyone know when the next window starts if it is not locked in now?

[Minecache]

Anyone know when the next window starts if it is not locked in now?

~16 hours time.

80 % miners vote for Segwit but 20 % Big- blockers oppose to them. They may build their own coin BCC bitcoin cash. They will run their own pools, mining, nodes and nework.

But everything can be changed, let's wait for the Aug 1. Hope the price of bitcoin will not dump because of this issue.

80.1%

81 blocks needed out of the remaining 101 (20 blocks diff), signalling at 80.1%. Still approximately 16 hours to go before this lock in period closes. F2Pool and Slush Pool might start signalling BIP 91 from tomorrow,  if we go at this current rate, lock in would happen in this window without any assistance from these two pools. They should have joined the party earlier.

the big blockers aren't 20%, they are about 40% supporting Emergent Consensus (BU). but they are also supporting SegWit!
the BCC crap is another story, it is just bitmain that is doing it and it has no community support, nor the developers support behind it.

also we don't have to wait for August 1, things will probably be locked in and clear in about half a day

If F2pool just turned their miners off for half a day it would lock in.

Why are they not signalling?

[leemar]

They have not upgraded their pool yet, been signalling NYA support for a long time.

[Minecache]

Back at 80%. This might be touch and go for the last ~15 hours.

GB miners switch to signal, will defo activate now.

...

What sorts of events can we expect between July 21  and August 1?

If it looks like SegWit2x locks in (I think that is good, at least it stabilizes things for a while), then what will happen between those dates?

Then after August 1, I presume we will see how SegWit actually works (how buggy, how accepted it is by the hold-outs, etc.).  How long do you all think that would take?  Two - three weeks?

Then I suppose the NEXT issue comes when Jihan/Ver start raising hell before Christmas (I read at another thread here)...

No more games!  UNIFY Bitcoin with proper code that is financially fair to all, else we risk HUGE losses, even to those who destroy the system.

Where do you read that?
