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.
