Activation for the segwit soft fork is being managed using BIP9
versionbits. Segwit's version bit is bit 1, and nodes will begin
tracking which blocks signal support for segwit on 15 November 2016
(UTC). If 95% of blocks within a 2,016-block retarget period (about two
weeks) signal support for segwit, the soft fork will be locked in.
After another 2,016 blocks, segwit will activate.
tracking which blocks signal support for segwit at the beginning of the
first retarget period after segwit's start date of 15 November 2016. If
95% of blocks within a 2,016-block retarget period (about two weeks)
signal support for segwit, the soft fork will be locked in. After
another 2,016 blocks, segwit will activate.
