Title: Any updates on SegWit / Lightning / Capacity increase Etc ?
Post by: spartacusrex on September 05, 2016, 10:06:41 AM
Well - September is upon us..

I was under the impression that the 'cool' tech Blockstream has been plugging would be integrated by now.

Any news on how it's all progressing ? When we will have something to play with ?

(I know - it's ready when it's ready.. just curious since it's been a bit quiet of late)

Segwit is implemented, there's just a lack of activation parameters as it's usually Core's policy to release soft forks in minor versions.

The activation parameters will be included in 0.13.1, which should be soon (as minor versions don't take much time).

implemented??
no lauda..
stop overselling it in the hopes your friends can get hold of the next tranch of investment money early..

The Latin word implementum means "filling up" or "fulfillment."
A decision, plan, or policy is like an empty idea until it's implemented. An implemented rule, on the other hand, is in full force, and you'll have to stick to it


segwit code is RELEASED, but NOT implemented, not activated and not functioning..
i know you want to pretend to know latin. so i was helpful enough to teach you some of the latin you love to pretend to know.

to the OP
segwit is not active yet, even when it is people will need to start using new keypairs and sending funds to those new keypairs for it to begin to become usefull so dont expect instant 1.8x boost the second its activated.
its alot more involved then "just a lack of activation parameters", so just be patient.
