Nice job Romano! Many good quotes!
For the lazy people these are his contributions:
What we are seeing is a stalling tactic from miners, Viacoin lead developer Romano told Bitcoin Magazine. They know that if SegWit activates on altcoins, it will make blocking it on Bitcoin even less credible.
SegWit signaling will start soon on Viacoin, but Romano is not very optimistic about quick activation: It seems more likely they want to refrain from activating Segregated Witness on altcoins because that would give them even less reason to hold off activation on Bitcoin.
Romano went even further. Maybe F2Pool are under some hidden pressure or coercion, and are trying to make a plausible cover story. It is well known that Jihan Wu of Bitmain controls the supply of about 70 percent of the mining hardware. His mining pool is blocking SegWit on Bitcoin, and he is able to exert pressure on miners and pools by sanctioning new equipment sales should they go against his wishes.
