i dont know what can we do to convince miners to start activating it.
By not relaying new non-segwit blocks and prioritizing segwit blocks all node operators can state their opinion in this case!
True, we can run nodes and push miners to activate segwit, but ultimately it all comes down to what the miners will do. If I was a miner and I saw how most people are runnin core nodes, I would feel like a jackass not signaling for segwit.
The miners job is to support the network. This is what they are paid for. If some of them start to work against the rest of the users, it is time to eliminate them.
How can I see how many 0.13+ nodes are being run vs sub 0.13+ nodes tho? I only see total Core nodes
