but why most miners refuse to use it? It is 3 months after SegWit released, but only 20% miners agree to switch in SegWit mode, what is wrong? What do they think?
A lot of the problems seem to stem from miscommunication and lack of communication between developers and miners. It seems that some miners have taken a grudge against the developers (all of them in general) for not consulting them when devising scaling solutions.

I really appreciate this acknowledgement of the problem. I would still love to hear what, if anything, is being done to remedy the situation.





Also, as I see segwit as a stepping stone towards a solid second layer solution, and part of the resistance in the community against segwit is due to this fact, could someone please give me an insight into the changes in incentives we'll see with such a solution?

I gather that tx's and fees will flow differently. Is there a clear view on how things like decentralization and fee structure will change?

Also, are there some less known positives with such a solution?
