Well, but that's just not correct. In fact, it's possible that the first activation could be triggered at a point in time when 100% of the network's hash power has already begun mining Classic. But even if we assume that the first activation is triggered with exactly 75% of the network hash power mining Classic, that doesn't mean there is "25% miner opposition." We simply don't know why that minority hash power is still mining Core. Some of that hash power could represent miners who support Classic in principle but are simply lazy, or (more charitably) who rationally conclude that their support is unlikely to tip the scales and thus that it's not worth their time to go to the hassle of switching. ("I'll just switch to Classic during the grace period if and when it activates.") Similarly, some of the miners who haven't upgraded yet might simply be indifferent on the issue (which obviously gives them no motivation to take affirmative steps to "vote" one way or the other).That was not my point though, my point was not that in the 28 day grace period more miners may upgrade. My point was at the time Classic nodes make an irrevocable decision to remove the 1MB rule, there is 25% miner opposition. Please acknowledge this fact.
On the other hand, if Classic activates, we can confidently say that, at that moment, there is at least (approximately) 75% miner opposition to the status quo.
