2. only blockstream have the bomb and set deadlines and actual threats to the network
Which is completely far-fetched from reality. Statements like these prove that you're either a delusional individual or a paid shill.
bip 9
deadline from november 2016 - november 2017
BIP9 changed to a new quorum sensing approach that is MUCH less vulnerable to false triggering, so 95% under it is more like 99.9% (C) under the old approach. basically when it activates, the 95% will have to be willing to potentially orphan the blocks of the 5% that remain(B)
If there is some reason when the users of Bitcoin would rather have it activate at 90% ... then even with the 95% rule the network could choose to activate it at 90% just by orphaning the blocks of the non-supporters until 95%+ of the remaining blocks signaled activation.(A)
a->b->c
UASF deadline from august 2017 to november 2017
if there are still nay sayers.. a mandatory activation by late 2018
blockstream cannot take no for an answer
instead of doubling down on threats.. the blockstream team and fanboys should think of plan B
if they are going to pull a pin actually recode sgwit to be 1 merkle and a proper network wide 4mb that is also dynamic and add other community desird features.
dont waste the blockstream triggered hard fork event if soft fails to activate, purely to push opposition away, use it to unite the community with proper non cesspit creating network
