46 Days to SegWit: Growing Consensus in the Bitcoin Economy

[SpaceMonkey]

A lot has happened since last week’s blog post about the BIP148 UASF. Bitmain, the largest ASIC miner manufacturer, released their “contingency plan” for a “User Activated Hard Fork” in case the BIP148 UASF activates before the Segwit2x soft fork. The way I read this is that Bitmain is willing to do whatever it takes to avoid activating SegWit, which is quite surprising given that less than a month ago they signed the Segwit2x agreement to activate SegWit. If Bitmain would just signal for SegWit via BIP141 now, that would go a long way towards preventing a chain split on August 1. But I digress.
