Segwit RC soon to be deployed -

https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/8149

Get ready for a price boost when Segwit comes out of RC unscathed and miners start accepting it bring to an end one chapter of this drama and sending bitcoin in the right direction for scaling.

Thanks for the update

He ~~purposefully ignored~~ forgot a critical component of the mining pool vote to change Bitcoin's operation:

Segwit will not be active on the network until Core releases binaries for the 2017 HF.

Yeah...
Good luck with that retarded and destructive approach...
DUMB
Roll Eyes

The party in need of (extreme) luck would be Blockstream, if they intend to see segwit activated without Antpool.

The specifics of the HK agreement were clear, and Jihan will be holding them to their word.

Besides, you dont run a node. You have an exchange hold some bitcoin for you which makes your opinions on protocol, node policy, and network capacity just embarrassing. Pls resume writing paragraphs of piffle as you farm up those sig ad penny shavings, friend.

Maybe it would help if you did not distort the facts?

The facts are more or less that XT/Classic failed to provide sufficient evidence or logic to support a protocol change that would involve a hard increase in the blocksize limit. Accordingly, since there remains a lack of consensus for such position, there is no obligation for anyone to attempt to implement such a unnecessary change... that is only supported by a very small minority.... accordingly, the status quo continues, in which bitcoin is not broken.. and likely seg wit will be implemented and also achieve a consensus after a large majority of sensible folks realize that it is not controverted.

furthermore, your attempt to characterize the situation as some kind of blockstream manipulation is nonsense. Bitcoin is decentralized, and therefore changes are difficult to achieve by any small group, whether that be blockstream, or the less popular but more whiny-vocal XT/Core criers over spilled milk.

That's part of the reason why I said good luck with attempting to continue to open cans of worms that really don't need to be opened, because bitcoin ain't broken and there is no emergency requiring such proposed remedies, such as making an immediate increase in the currently 1mb blocksize limit.
