Segwit is good for all the independent miners.

The bitmain miners that we have may have asicboost on the hardware but not on the firmware that is sold to us, we get no benefit of asicboost.

Asicboot is patented technology which goes against the spirit of Bitcoin, and the GPL, we should not allow any patented technoly on the Bitcoin network, unless if it is an invalid patent like someone patenting the blockchain or Bitcoin itself, then the patent should be ignore since it is not legit.

I been mining on slushdot and I get the advertised hash rates without the use of asicboost.

Support Segwit it is the way to go, use mining pools that support Segwit.
