Guys, please stick to facts. I am just a Bitcoin owner, but I understand programming and compliance/security: let us make BC great again :-)

Mvh,

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. 

Peter, this type of disrespectful fighting talk is absolutely not welcome on this list.

Mike
