Will UASF still go ahead?
If SegWit is activated before May 31st then it won't mean anything

I'm waiting for this fact but How long this fact will happen? Dev needs more plans to promote this project to crypto community.
the potential of this project is high and The price is quite good to get more cheap coins.
While waiting for new actions from Dev , Just buy and hold this coin for a while .


Since two days segwit is above 75%. How long does the activation take place? I also got vertcoin on poloniex, if segwit activation happens something to my coins?

   It's not just above 75% at some point.  It has to be above 75% when the activation period ends.  So after 2016 block, if 75% of them signal SegWit.  Then it will lock in.  Then after another 2016 blocks (grace period) it will activate. 

  We are currently a little over 50% through the period and SegWit is 84.41%.  Based on the current numbers we just need 63% of the remaining blocks to lock it in. 

The percentage of segwit in progress is 84% ​​and not 50%. Look https://vtconline.org/sf.html
We are almost there

  At the time I wrote that, we had found 1096 of the 2016 blocks in the period, that is a little over 50%.  That page is where I got my info.  Again, if you looked at that page after the first block was found in the period, SegWit would have been either 0% or 100%.  Because your just looking at one block.  The SegWit average over the 2016 block period has to be over 75% to activate.  The current average is over 85% which is great, but we're still not 100% out of the woods.  Currently the no SegWit miners are around 15%.  If some one really wanted to stop Segwit they still could, but they would need to increase that 15% hash rate to over 40%.
