Fake bitcoin classic nodes would not be able to raise the percent of support since they aren't actual miners. At the end the amount of hashrates are mattering.

Hashers can throw their power behind a classic miner then later withdraw their hashing power.

What would be the sense of doing so? You can't send a reasonable amount of hashingpower to fake nodes just to try raising the hashrate, you would need to put real power into it. And you would only do this when you are sure that the fork wins. You can't fake hashrate like you seem to suggest. At the end it comes to the blocks that are found. And when a classic node miner has XX TH and spreads this hashpower around 10 fake nodes then on that chain there still would only be XX TH from that miner.

I think you mix the kind of vote the XT fans tried with actual votes by hashpower. It's not the same and the number of nodes decides nothing.

And when a fork happens then when support for this new system raises a high value which means everyone will switch then since it is very unlikely that they will drop again then.

As I've stated I don't think we are just dealing with sensible people making sensible decisions.

If Bitcoin Classic were to stick to the way that soft forks have so been done (95% before activation of the new feature) then all of this controversy would go away.

If the vast majority of people do want 2MB blocks then I don't see that 95% should be a problem (and for the record I don't really care if the blocks are 1MB or 2MB).

It might be that the problem is that one can foresee that there will always be more then 5% miners that categorically would block such a change. Which would make it impossible. On the other hand 75% is a strong sign of the will of the community, well miners aren't actually the community but comes near to it. And it's better to let the majority decide instead staying undecided.

At the end it doesn't matter. Sigwit might get taken over by the net realitively without problems, ln doesn't need a fork but i doubt it will be used very much. And at one point in time it is inevitable anyway to raise the blocksize. It's grinding some time, that's all.
