again.. the 95% does not trigger until 5700 have reviewed code, tested it and happy to run it..
this could take days-weeks-months before we start to see people using it. and longer before there is a clear 95% stable and constant use of it that meets a stable/constant use parameter of lets say 1000-10000 block measure of constant 95%.
No. You have no idea what you're talking about. The "95%" is regarding the hashrate supporting the proposal, not the number of nodes supporting it. If it were up to the number of nodes, one could easily disrupt this by creating a ton of AWS nodes using an older version. Once again, you have no idea what you're talking about.

no wonder you have your fingers in your ears.. its digging all the grit out from sticking your head in the sand.

seems you forget what happens after the grace period.
when miners see users are ready users are then happy to accept 2mb blocks, but still only receive 1mb blocks, because...

miners have to be satisfied their competitors dont disregard thieir blocks
so when miners are then satisfied that atleast OVER 95% of user nodes have the rules ready... then the miners do their own flagging and consensus mechanism over another block measure to show a 95% of miners are happy

seriously wake up to reality and join the conversation, get out of the fantasy doomsday nightmare that is not reality and start thinking rationally about how things will work in the real world.

miners wont jump first, they will wait for users.
even when users are ready, miners wont jump unless they see other miners also consent, that way the orphan risk is low (around 0-5%, same as any other day where we are seeing small % orphans a eachday)
