Well, this Saturday's "Chinese roundtable" statement from a bunch of
miners (https://pastebin.com/b3St9VCF) says they intend "NYA" in the
coinbase as support for "the New York consensus SegWit2x program btc1 (
https://github.com/btc1)", whose code includes the (accelerated 336-block)
BIP 91 change.  So, other facts or interpretations could come to light, but
until they do we should probably assume that's what the "NYA" (which just
broke 80% over the last 24h) means.

&gt;&gt;&gt; Well, they&#39;re doing some kind of &quot;pre-signaling&quot;=
 in the coinbase at the<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; moment, because the segwit2x project is still in alpha-phase a=
ccording to<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; the timeline. They&#39;re just showing commitment.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; I&#39;m sure they will begin signaling on version bit 4/BIP91 =
as well as<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; actually running a segwit2x node when the time comes.<br>

&gt;&gt;&gt;<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; Segwit2x/BIP91/BIP148 will orphan miners that do not run a Seg=
wit2x (or<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; BIP148) node, because they wouldn&#39;t have the new consensus=
 rule of requiring<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; all blocks to signal for segwit.<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; I don&#39;t believe there would be any long lasting chainsplit=
 though<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; (because of the ~80% hashrate support on segwit2x), perhaps 2-=
3 blocks if we<br>
&gt;&gt;&gt; get unlucky.<br>
