📝 Original message:This is not the safest defense against a split. If 70% of miners run
"splitprotection", and 0.1% run BIP148, there's no "safety"/"defense"
reason for splitprotection to activate segwit. It should only do so if
*BIP148* support (NB: not just segwit support!) >50%.
The truly defensive logic is "If the majority supports orphaning non-segwit
blocks starting Aug 1, I'll join them."
If the real goal of this BIP is to induce miners to run segwit, then fair
enough. But passing it off as the safest defense is bad faith.
