Antpool has signaled Bitcoin Unlimited in 2 blocks!!!!
Woke up to this awesome site today: Nodecounter.com. Antpool found back to back blocks earlier and both signaled support for Bitcoin Unlimited. A third did not but a pool this size would take time to deploy across all of it's regional nodes. The third block showed it came from a US server on the pool.
Now the waiting game to see what the next block(s) signal.....
Update: 3rd block minded. Block 456058 also signaled BU.
Huge news...
But even with a hashpower majority we still have the difficult problem of getting all the major Bitcoin businesses to go along with it. Many such as Coinbase and Blockchain.info may be relieved and eager to end the backlog, but many others are ideologically opposed and see BU as an 'attack' on the network.
Most just play both sides of the fence to try to keep all their customers. When XT and Classic were first announced the majority supported bigger blocks.
Even that implies that some businesses will be afraid of moving for fear of how their customers (and perhaps /r/bitcoin and bitcoin.org) respond.
Looks like a historic moment is about to happen, excited about a change for bitcoin!
Update: Block 456058 also is also a BU block. That makes 3 now.
