[Bitcoin-segwit2x] F2Pool backing out of NYA - Fork still happening?

[Ryan Selkis]

This seems to be a relevant technical question: "If there are other miner
defections in the coming weeks, what is the minimum amount of hashpower
required before the fork gets delayed?"

I am not convinced one of this group's primary assumptions - that it
represents the true economic majority of bitcoin - is correct, and it seems
more evidence is accumulating that further contradicts this (e.g. rising
volumes and growing spread between BT1 and BT2 on Bitfinex). We could see
additional tangible evidence of that lack of support if NYA supporting orgs
see an upcoming surge in withdrawals (like Coinbase with the BCH fork).

2x proponents have held up hashing power and their representation of the
economic majority as the mandate to push this HF. If the true economic
majority appears to reject 2x, it is possible other miners may back out of
the NYA as well. I, too, would like to know the answer to Peter's question.

Thanks,
Ryan
