Sure, but afaik (v little) btc.com has more of a free hand, while antpool is the belly of the beast.

Maybe it has something to do with the activation of overt asicboost in the newest antminer firmware ? Fucked up pool software ?

No, segwit killed covert ascicboost https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3194122.msg33108003#msg33108003

They recently released a firmware for the s9 which enables overt asicboost.

Sure, a crappy one (use braiins' one), but that can't have anything to do with segwit, and Jihan's not processing segwit tx's?

Wasn't braiins big reason for being to get away from Antbleed? How quickly everyone forgot that Jihan had a fucking backdoor into the majority of the worlds hashing power.

Indeed. I overemphasised the increased hashpower part of the braiins os https://bitcoinmagazine.com/articles/braiins-os-open-source-alternative-bitcoin-mining-firmware/

edit: foolish me. all this could mean they're using covert asicboost. dumdum. apologies.
