I think there are a lot of factors at play here that make it difficult (for me at least) to say this is a straight equation. Of course the number of participants is important. But what is the threshold and time window for activation? Are the miners actually ready to produce DC-compatible blocks (signaling is not strictly readiness), and also what is their tolerance for risk of producing a block that might get beat out by a non-DC signaling block (the URSF can even block DC-signaling blocks before DC activation)? Miners have budgets and profit margins. Are they ready to assume this risk over a protracted, contentious battle? Can pools that signal for DC keep their participants from jumping to another pool that doesn't?

idk what he's talking about, readiness IS the signal.

If you're upgraded, you can certainly flag. But how do you know they aren't just running software that signals as a bluff? There is no guarantee. It is not a vote.
