We need SegWit, or an urgent block size increase. For the sake of BTC, something needs to be done, fast!


I agree, so let's think about this like business men. If you want the miners to do something, you have to use incentives. How can we pressure and/or incentive miners into accepting SegWit? How can we economically punish those who do not? Money talks and bullshit walks, if what we do does not affect their profits then they won't give a fuck.

Let's come up with ideas; I have at least 1:

  • Start a donation drive and give the proceeds directly to SegWit supporting pools
  • Buy mining equipment and mine at a loss in order to contribute to a SegWit pool
  • More ideas?
