i'm a little confused.. we're getting SegWit, then a 2MB hardfork.. why does Tone Vays refer to segwit2x as "clown code" that's untested or something?
BIP91 somehow allows SegWit and SegWit2x to work together? is that right? is the segwit in segwit2x not the same as regular segwit?

the activation is meaningless..
check out litecoin the pools cant even be bothered to use the keys. yep they can still malleate, quadratic spam and everything else.
..
too many people think the activation is the finish line. where everything is solved. lol.. please people atleast read the code. and not reddit scripts.

It's not the finish line, it's the STARTING line. SegWit is the gateway for other bitcoin added features. Now whether those features will be used extensively or not remains to be seen. It could end up that SegWit will turn out to be a dud and everyone will just continue to use btc as they were in the past.

I would buy them a t-shirt that says "I survived UASF" or "I support SegWit" and make them wear it! Or maybe you guys can come up with some better taglines. "Bitcoin Core is a SegWit whore!" 
Once the activation of BIP91 followed by BIP141 is over and segwit is active and the world didn't end as all the BU doomsayers predicted, I'll be able to unignore a substantial number of posters... until their next FUD campaign.
Maybe we can all have a party with Mr. Ver, Mr. Wright and Mr. Wu, and their various buddies? Have a few drinks and talk about the weather.
Yaeeaaahooo!

Yes very interesting.
So I guess we all can learn now how a HF could work very nicely.
... And show to the outer world that bitcoin can move.
Who said anything about hard fork? That's the next hurdle since BIP91 activates BIP141 which is a soft fork so no users need to adjust their nodes. If 2x goes ahead in 3 months' time and most users remain on core nodes, we have a split where the vast majority of users will be using a client running off a minority hashrate chain.So I guess we all can learn now how a HF could work very nicely.

Sure , I was just a bit further in time and milestones...
I hope we can get there seeing miners showing their strong commitment these days.
91%.
Further in time and based on a bunch of facts not in evidence... that is called fantasyland
Let's presume something to be true, and then just keep talking about it over and over and over, and pretty soon others will start to believe that is it is true, too, correct?
Price almost touches 3K like I "predicted". Glad to see SegWit is locked in. UASF doomsday avoided! 
Yay!

And it's done. There are enough blocks to activate it this period. Now for the period to be up and the activation to occur in 14 blocks' time.
Antpool with 9:12; they must have kicked that covert asicboost into high gear.
Funny, but even you know that asicboost doesn't speed up mining.

Empty block and everybody watching. Shame on Ant!

empty blocks are not an issue. its just luck to get a solution to next block before validating previous..
whats more annoying is the ones that purposefully do not fill blocks even when given time to validate previous block
so shame on BTCC

oh and look BTCC also do empty blocks too

13/28 - We crossed the 50% barrier. Time for fireworks!
After BIP91locking in having been activated, according to my interpretation, a miner cartel with 51% of the hashrate (that reverts to a non-BIP91 client) would be needed to not lock in Segwit. (Please correct if wrong). Very, very unlikely.
After BIP91
...I am impatiently refreshing the Coin Dance website every 30 seconds or so, for the last two hours...
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/reloadevery/Is there a decent Chrome extension for that? I've been going through a couple of them and they look like they're either paid, spyware or both.

No clue, I used Chrome for about 5 minutes nearly a decade ago. ...
