occasional?
I really hope that they don't take this as a joke and if they really want to support segwit they'll continue signaling.
They're really messing with everyone now. If they actually start signalling for it it'll completely turn around the debate though - as soon as SegWit is over half most people will know that it's the solution to go with and its popularity will go way up. Maybe it would even stop some of the annoying FUD and Ethereum peddling.
Might not be that wierd. What if they do support all they signal for? Or maybe just want to give their users a voice just like Slush.
It seems that I was mistaken as I didn't check the Coinbase. I have already updated the OP (see ck's post); they seem to also be signalling BU.
https://www.bitfire.io/blocks/459811 @unamis76 No, that is most certainly not the case (as in giving users a voice).
Well this is going to change things. F2pool is about 12% of the hashrate which pushes segwit to 39% (+/- the regular variance). It also pushes BU from 37 to 49%. However segwit signalling counts towards software activation whereas BU flagging doesn't really activate anything directly - and will terrify BU miners that they're effectively a sybil attack along with bitclubnetwork's BU flagging. If BU flagging gets to 51% and antpool comes through with their threat of activating BU blocks but f2pool and bitclubnetwork are just flagging their blocks for trolling then in fact they'll end up activating with a minority since 14+% may not actually follow them.
I'm not sure what to make out of this. Remember, right now it is April Fools' Day in China.
