Re: Chinese Miners Revolt, Announces Plan to Hard Fork to Classic
Hey, a Core dev, and altcoin founder, Mark Friedenbach, has confirmed:
The HK Agreement was a Farce: "Haha"

Segwit was merged into Core already. There will be a point release after 0.13 which enables it. You can read about the plan for segwit deployment here:

The HK "consensus" was a farce signed by only a few developers. Nobody that wasn't there has any intention of following through on it.
I know of no hard fork proposal that could achieve consensus on that timeframe, no.
Maybe a magical fix-everything solution will be invented tomorrow (it's possible), but even that would require 6+ months of effort to get it in Core, and another full year or more to deploy, since we're talking about a hard fork. So the timeline doesn't make sense even if one assumed there was an acceptable solution (there isn't).
EDIT: The devs that signed the HK document aren't liers. They promised code availability 3 months after, which is when I would start the timeline I described above.
