Please check your inflammatory remarks about dishonesty at the door.

Here is my evidence from coin.dance.

I believe your logic is incorrect.  We should concern ourselves with those
that are mining Bitcoin, not those that are not mining Bitcoin.

As you can see from the evidence provided above, those mining Bitcoin today
are signaling for SegWit2x.

As you can see from this graph below, the support for segwit2x is not only
above 90% now, but it has been for quite some time.  Counter your
implication that support is wavering, it is not.

Finally, I resent your accusations of dishonesty.
