  - 105 businesses and projects from the Bitcoin space support SegWit and are working on implementing it in their products: https://bitcoincore.org/en/segwit_adoption/ https://bitcoincore.org/en/segwit_adoption/ - 54 bitcoin developers signed the "capacity increase roadmap" published by Bitcoin Core: https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/capacity-increases https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/capacity-increases - 45 companies and individuals signed in support of Bitcoin Core: https://bitcoincore.org/en/supporters/ https://bitcoincore.org/en/supporters/ - 85% of the nodes on the network are running Bitcoin Core: https://coin.dance/nodes/share https://coin.dance/nodes/share All of that due to censorship in one subreddit, while there are multiple other forums that people talk in? I have to say, that's quite impressive.

    The censorship isn't just in /r/bitcoin it also happens on the dev mailing list, on the bitcoin.org website, and on the BitcoinTalk forum. BitcoinTalk, /r/bitcoin, and bitcoin.org are controlled by the same person.

    Impressive numbers! Bad luck the only metric that happens to matters, miner vote, is still below 25% and seems to be going slightly down... http://bitcoin.sipa.be/ver9-10k.png http://bitcoin.sipa.be/ver9-10k.png

      No, actually, it's not safe to vote for a fork until a large percentage of nodes are on board. Miners are doing their job and waiting for the community first. It took me 4 months to upgrade my nodes because I'm not really "in the business" like I used to be. Probably a lot of other people are just slow too.
