Core won't even compromise to 2mb/segwit, which
probably could get consensus.  

Erm, I thought the great reveal of the last couple of days was Segwit nullifying Bitmain's advantage. I don't know how recently this advantage was discovered and put into action but that explains plenty of recent attitudes.



no great reveal...just more propaganda.



Some facts:
1. Jihan supported SegWit in the HK agreement, it was Greg that broke it.
2. Now Jihan is supporting Ext Blocks, which is incompatible with ASICBoost, the 'exploit' he was accused of using.
3. Core devs have zero proof Jihan is using ASICBoost in production. (Is the any evidence of ANYONE using ASICBOOST?)
4. Facts indicate Jihan/AntPool isn't using ASICBoost at all: (If the shuffling of transactions is required for ASICBOOST to work, I don’t see any evidence that AntPool uses it)
5. In recent blocks, about 14% of AntPool's income come from fees.
6. Greg's math is wrong, again. Bitmain: Regarding Recent Allegations and Smear Campaigns
