The network of bitcoin took place on activation of the proposal for scaling BIP 91

On Sunday morning, July 23, hosted activation proposals for improving bitcoin BIP 91, after which all the blocks without signaling support for Segregated Witness (SegWit), will be rejected.

According to the xbt.eu to support SegWit signal 97.9% of miners.

We will remind, 91 BIP is a modified version of the plan BTC1 (SegWit2x), which is supported by a number of bitcoin companies and mining pools, in may this year signed the relevant agreement in new York. In addition, BIP BIP is compatible with 91 148 (UASF) is another proposal for the activation of the original proposal SegWit described his time in BIP, 141.

Thus, the activation of BIP 91 also means a high probability of activation Protocol BTC1 (SegWit2x) and the actual mitigating risk hard forks of bitcoin due to the activation of BIP 148, which should happen on August 1.

At the same time, there remains the probability of hard forks as a result of increasing the block size to 2 MB under SegWit2x for three months after activation SegWit.

BIP 91 has been activated at block 477120. The next update of the level of difficulty should take place on the block 477792, therefore, barring anything unforeseen, fixing SegWit to be held on 479808 (mid-August), and the direct activation of Protocol unit 481824 (end of August).

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