[Bitcoin-segwit2x] NYA WG members drop support of Segwit2x?

Mon Jul 17 00:28:22 UTC 2017

Today ViaBTC announced[1] that they are supporting the Bitcoin-ABC hardfork (initiated by Bitmain[2]). It seems that Roger Ver / Bitcoin.com <http://bitcoin.com/> is now considering[3] that his pool may drop support for the NY agreement as well, at least partially.

Since the summed hashrate of these parties is presently around 30% it throws into question if the NYA participants still intend to apply their hashrate to Segwit2x activation as they previously agreed. SegWit2x has set an activation threshold of 80% of the network hashrate so the participation of these mining signatories is key.

Due to the tight timeframe which is left for the activation, I would really love to hear feedback from the aforementioned participants and working group members to clear up these apparently conflicting statements of hashpower support. This will inform all of us as to whether it is still worth our precious time and effort to test and review the Segwit2x code. It will help to reduce market uncertainty if all participants in the NYA would continue to make their stances firm and clear so that their support of the NYA is still recognized as significant.
