Hi,

it worked, I decided to enforce it. You can see the activation date in the source code.
Build it from source this time.

new version string: Satoshi:0.14.2(UASF-SegWit-BIP148)/UASF-Segwit:1.0(BIP148)/

By running a version of Bitcoin Core 0.13.1 or greater, you are already signalling support for segwit and will enforce the segwit rules once segwit activates. Adding the uacomment is for BIP 148, which is an alternative method for activating segwit. Segwit itself has its own activation rules and BIP 148 is just another method by which segwit can activate.

Adding the uacomment only means that you intend on running a node which enforces the BIP 148 rules. It does not actually enforce any rules or change anything about your node. You must run a node that enforces BIP 148 to actually be doing anything with BIP 148.

Hi,

I'm running a full node with bitcoid 0.14.2 I saw that I can signal segwit support by adding this to my config -> echo "uacomment=UASF-SegWit-BIP148" >> ~/.bitcoin/bitcoin.conf

So my question is what will this do? I understand that this version is compatible anyway so does this mean I intend to upgrade to a segwit enforcing version? If so when is this released?

I found some alternate wallets which enforce segwit already are they useless before 1.8 or do they only enforce by that time?
