says the guy that was happy the NYA opted to ban mining pools, nodes and services that didnt flag for segwit
No less than three factual errors in a single sentence. That's impressive, even for you.
No miner should be banned. But since they're avoiding to engage in any discussion there could be some meaningful pressure towards them too.
We know from bitcoin's past that it's possible for users of the network to signal their support for certain changes to it without having to fork the network.
Okay, I'm glad you made that clarification. I was starting to think you were losing the plot for a second there, heh.
My remaining concern with that line of thinking would be that miners need to maintain a degree of impartiality. If non-mining users can gain some form of leverage over miners to only include transactions that we approve of, then it's only a matter of time before governments find a method of doing the same. This little experiment of ours ends rather abruptly if that were to ever occur. I suggest you carefully consider if this is truly a path you want to tread.
