If Segwit as a soft fork, to kill AsicBoost was desired by the Bitcoin Cash's economic majority, would Bitmain and Jihan Wu respect it and activate it immediately?
It is -- I will just state it --
stupid to ask me this question. Ask Jihan. He is the only one that can accurately answer this question.
Oh I believe we already saw the real answer to that in practice in the past. Haha.
But again, your rhetorical is ludicrous. BCH's desirability is predicated upon the fact that it does not contain the segwit virus -- especially as enacted through the so-called 'soft fork' trojan horse mechanism, which inserts dire new security vulnerabilities.
That is another argument altogether. But I respect your opinion, though if it is biased.
I believe the number of non-mining nodes supporting their own form of a UASF would matter.
You are delusional. I have demonstrated over and over again that the count of non-mining validators is a powerless metric in regards to Bitcoin consensus.
It was not as convincing as the demonstration of the UASF. Sorry.
Plus what would constitute as the economic majority in the network if no one ran nodes except the miners?
Are you just stupid?
The economic majority would constitute the economic majority. A count of non-mining validators has fuck-all to do with a measure of the economic majority.You seem incapable of absorbing new information that conflicts with your internal dogma. This discussion is accomplishing nothing. With that, I am done with this inane circular waste of time.
But if no one ran non-mining nodes, the network would be centralized towards only the miners that the economic majority would follow. Would that be an incorrect statement?
