gmax is going to have to do thing like AMA's and such, to really sell the idea.
He doesn't have to do anything.
its going to be interesting to see how the network reacts to segwit being released...
i wonder how much effort it will take to get that 95% they want
I imagine they'll try hard and succeed for some weeks but eventually they'll give in. Why would those that want any increase at all block segwit once it's out there? Much of the support for Classic will just accept segwit size increase and continue lobbying for another one.
