Bitcoin miners have seemingly made a decision to activate Segwit2X

Bitcoin miners have seemingly made a decision to activate Segwit2X, locking in the solution at 80% of the hashrate. BIP 91 needs to maintain this 80% level of support for 122 more blocks (at the time of writing), which means it needs 99 out of these 122 blocks to signal BIP 91.

Antpool, the biggest Bitcoin mining pool, is currently voting for segwit. As is Bixin, BW, BTCC, Bitfury, ViaBTC, BTC.TOP and some smaller pools. F2Pool is expected to follow soon, as will, most likely, Slushpool. If neither F2Pool nor Slushpool signal for BIP 91, it is possible that the proposal will not be activated, given that the hashrate level that supports SegWit2X has dropped to 77.7% even though no pools have stopped signalling BIP 91.
