So 5,369 votes and it seems that SegWit is the most favored. 83% out of these (4,456 votes, more or less) are supporting Segwit, while the other 17% are not. Seems people want this to be settled. Well, thanks for pointing this poll out, Lauda.

You're welcome. I was right about my initial assumptions, and the "losing side" is already whining about "sybil attacking" on Twitter. Roll Eyes

By keeping BTC/USD low, then they can still keep their monopoly. But if BTC/USD is very high then they will start to get competition.

Combine this with the ASICBOOST exploit and you get a monopoly that nobody can compete with (unless they want to constantly be operating at a loss).

But yeah, I hope I'm wrong and they'll switch to SegWit soon after the poll.

F2Pool did it not long after their poll concluded.

How long until the poll is concluded?

~2-3 hours. You can see that on the link, just take a closer look.
