Slushpool has added BIP148 voting option for its miners + the option to mine on BIP148 chain if and if there is a chain split after August 1.

They have 4.3% hashrate and I think this move would give more support to Segwit activated BIP148.

Guess Antpool would never be able to grasp the philosophical notion of pool neutrality.

4.3% hashrate is a good start, but if we add a Bitfury, thats another 7.9%. But the condition as far as I remember was that the Core devs must add the UASF code officially within the next Core release.

If we manage to get Bitfury on board then things get really serious because we enter the 10%+ zone.

Anything beyond 10% is interesting to see because snowball effect beggins.

if that is the condition then it will already doomed because core dev tema is all against UASF, just check their opinion on the matter

i thought that the UASF don't need core dev to do anything, they just rely on node to force segwit

We need hashrate anyway, and he's talking about the fact that certain miners will only support UASF with their hashrate if Core devs back it up within an official release.

In any case, Slushpool is a good start. The beauty of UASF is that services need to back it up or risk loses, they also benefit by listing it because they rack more fees.

By august 1st you'll see all big exchanges listing BIP148 coins.
