My most recent of many, many posts on the subject implying the same thing - no signalling for either.
...
Meanwhile, on the subject of voting, our top miners are clearly bringing in more hash rate and more soon, we'll see when it happens
When we get to a few % of the network I'll then be discussing with them (and anyone else who points multiple PHs of hardware at the pool long term) about that voting.
Cool to know. I'm sure people will be happy to hear about planning. I only threw less than 30 TH, so you won't be missing much. I just hope I don't find my first block, now.
I hope I'm still welcome in this forum. I feel terrible. I simply followed a mantra of 1 hash = 1 vote.
On some of your comments in the past about being a small pool ... my impression is that the pool and this thread have a larger weight than measured by hashrate. I think discussions echo out. Signaling would be more significant than you expect, imo, and it's an important decision to make. Let's just keep finding blocks and growing bitcoin!
:cheers:
Well I guess to expand on that point, I have made it clear, I think, why the pool isn't voting at the moment.
When I make the PH comment, I don't mean that power sways my decision, I simply mean that I'm open to 'discussions' about what to vote if they can convince me otherwise on technical or philosophical grounds.
But it's based on the fact also that even with the pool at 30PHs we really don't have a say in what happens since we certainly can't directly affect the vote outcome.
'When' we get a lot bigger, then we will have a direct say in it
However, as I've already said, if the network takes the required swing to accept an option, then those left over should also take that option.
By 'required swing' of course I mean 75% for BU or 95% for SegWit
In either case I expect that if momentum gets going above 50% for either option, it shouldn't be long after that for the rest to switch over also, but until the actual switch point, it's still undecided.
If some other option pokes it's head up that most agree with, then that could solve it also.
Edit: The bottom line is that bitcoin is a peer2peer transaction system, and if the majority says 'X' is what the system should now be, then that's what bitcoin now is.
The discussions about changing the PoW to stop a majority rule is beyond stupid.
If groups want some other alt-coin then go create it, but bitcoin is a distributed peer2peer transaction system that is not controlled by some minority that thinks they are the Bitcoin God.
