...(at least until a future HF if core does not deliver) but my theory is that some mining pools are now using standard core software for the BIP141 signaling as there is no need anymore for btc1 nor segsignal (core+BIP91). Safer too.


If  core does not deliver what?

Miners have to continue to use a client that enforces BIP91 until segwit activates, because the stock Bitcoin Core client will not ignore blocks that don't signal segwit.


It will not reject blocks without segwit signaling, but its blocks won't be rejected either. Not sure I see the issue there. On second thought that could be a block orphaning orgy as those clients start working on non-segwit blocks from other non signaling pools. Ok, scratch that Smiley

I mean that it is a possibility that core accepts to add the code for the FIXED 2MB blocksize increase in the future. That would be the more desirable outcome (instead of miners running their own buggy frakenclients).
