Antpool and Bitcoin.com began to produce blocks with support SegWit

While the bitcoin community continues to discuss the fixation of proposals to improve the Protocol BIP 91, there was another – largely unexpected – event: mining pools and Antpool Bitcoin.com began to produce blocks with support SegWit.

Also one of them joined a mining pool BTC.com.

As can be seen from the analytical data of the resource Coin.dance, hours ago blocks which produced these three pool, were without the support SegWit.

Official comments from representatives of these three pools was not, but recall that they had previously strongly opposed the activation SegWit, insisting on an alternative Bitcoin Unlimited. Later they began to vote in support of the decision SegWit2x, but the direct support SegWit (BIP 141) it was not.

Operator Antpool is a Chinese company Bitmain Technologies, the owner of the pool Bitcoin.com is known for his outrageous statements against opponents Roger Ver.

This unexpected turn of events has already attracted the attention of the community. So, the Creator of Litecoin Charlie Lee posted a tweet, which ironically asks whether this is all happening.

Recall, fixing BIP 91 officially took place on the night of Friday, July 21, when more than 90% Hasrat network signaled in support of this decision.
