Sorry mate. What has exactly begun?
some full-nodes are expressing their desire/readyness to go ahead and activate segwit without hashing power consent, they want to bypass miners and get segwit activated.
they call it BIP148 https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0148.mediawiki
Yeah..but how likely is that bitcoin core devs will incorporate this?
I hear it has an August start date. I also read it only needs 15% to activate. Man that would really 'crimp' imho BU and other efforts.

All this makes me wonder if I should just hold off on that last 10 BTC purchase for the old bank safety deposit addition to the BTC hoard?
or
Do I just have to get used to a more 'sustained' FUD effort ..where 30% of the holders/users of BTC just plain can't agree ...just that will be the new
normal for volitilaty and price? sheesh..
Lots of plates in the air. With all the FUD we still could be looking at $800 usd btc again.....hmmmmm...its like trying to spot the black cat with 1 white spot in
a heard of black cats

'sustained' FUD effort
BAaahahahahhaha
Get use to it!

I think It's likely core will add it in, IF they can get economic majority on board... big IF... this is a rather nutty proposal, but these are nutty times, so no one will notice (LMAO).
so far only ~30 nodes signaling this...
and looking at the code, this "Bitcoin-USAF" ( this isn't official core release obviously ) they are not giving a crap about hashrate or anything really, the rule put simply appears to be : after Tue 1 Aug 2017 00:00:00 UTC if the segwit version bit isn't set, rejecting that block!
I dont see this as particularly bearish, its just a little more meaningless confusion in the vast sea of CrazyBitcoins.
if it dose pick up, and we start to hear about how core is going to add this to the official release.
a) miners will back the fuck down
or
b) we're gonna double our coins Tue 1 Aug 2017 00:00:00 UTC
