I disagree. We should activate BIP-444 as quickly as possible and get the fork started. The sooner the market can start pricing the two chains independently, the quicker this will be behind us.

Your greed talk from inside you now...
We should avoid a fork in this moment as much as is possible.
The disruptions in LN will be enormous. You still do not think clearly about those implications.
Yeah, the potential stacking opportunity is not worth the pain.
Agreed that the financial benefit is not huge. Maybe a 20% increase in stack would be my prior, based on BCash.
The advantage here is to eject a toxic minority and to become more resilient to future contentious forks.
I agree that there will be disruptions. I agree that it’ll be painful and messy.
I argue that the pain and disruption is better to handle sooner than later. If a contentious soft fork is disruptive to Lightning, it’s better to learn from that sooner so we can adapt Lightning to make it more resilient to the next one.
Bitcoin is anti-fragile. It will strengthen under this test.
