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. Roll Eyes

I am aware of that. My point is that activation of segwit happens from signalling. It doesn't necessarily from BU, which is something a lot of people don't get. On the other hand this won't remotely bring us close to activation threshold.

Either way I expect by April 2 they'll go back to signalling... nothing.
