Segwit needs 95% to activate.

Current Numbers
https://coin.dance/blocks

Explicit Mining Pool Support by Proposal
SegWit                        24.6%
Bitcoin Unlimited          18.3%
8 MB Blocks                   7.5%

If the current Voters for Bitcoin Unlimited and 8 MB Blocks do not change their votes, (either alone is enough to block segwit)
Segwit will NEVER ATTAIN the 95% needed.

Segwit is DEAD!


Suggest BTC core start working on a blocksize increase solution ASAP, because no matter what else happens Segwit is Dead on Arrival.  Wink


 Cool
I would suggest solution to the impasse with SegWit: to change the name to something more respectful of the Chinese miners, to carry out faithfully executed the diplomatic mission to China, and to propose new solutions for scaling taking into account the cultural peculiarities of China.
