i'd love to pick your brain and ask you questions
You would be wasting his time, time that could be spent designing and developing.
it has occurred to me if they want 95% hashing power gmax is going to have to do thing like AMA's and such, to really sell the idea.
segwit is complex, some miners won't accept to run somthing they dont understand.
i figure they'll need to spend some time engaging with them to make them feel more conformable.
like "so why is it you are shooting for 95% hashing power before activating segwit?" but you're busy, and I dont want to disturb you
Yes, BIP16 used a lower activation threshold. The modern high thresholds are a result of learning from (and successfully preventing) the consensus disruption that happened with low thresholds.
this kinda proves my point... its hardly a softfork, for miners its all or nothing, we can't have 50% of the miners upgrade we need 95%
but you're right i should read up more and then i'd be the one schooling other poeple here.
Sorry to break it to you, but you're far from 'schooling' other people.
the point is if i actually knew the details i wouldn't make false assumptions...
