Title: Other alts with segwit?
Post by: asnghost on December 03, 2016, 01:20:00 PM
Are there other coins besides BTC, LTC and VIA doing the segwit implementation?

I don't think so. If an altcoin needs bigger block, I think it's simpler doing a hard fork.

Are you sure, LTC&VIA use segwit implementation?

Only Gulden, who updated to 0.13 codebase on Friday and all other features they added. Incredible!

Bitcoin and Gulden have it already.

I saw a video on Youtube that Ethereum too is testing their own version of Segwit, I guess it is called radon

segwit in alts makes no sense. An alt inplementing segwit is a sell-signals. Any devteam who atempts to implement more complexity without a need for it (full blocks) have no idea what they are doing and the coin should be sold.

LTC is doing it you say? Maybe that's why it drops like a rock? Former believers now bailing on incompetence?

segwit going to be on Litecoin soon.  Code is written.  Is this a good thing? I think so.

About to be deployed to Litecoin soon.
But Litecoin's SegWit deployment will not be activated through BIP9, but instead IsSuperMajority.

That was done because BIP9 (version bits) breaks compatibility with AuxPoW coins, which means the merged mined coins like Dogecoin would die.
After the majority of Litecoin's merged mined coins like Dogecoin fix the AuxPoW implementation for their coin, we will add proper BIP9 support.

I think groestlcoin is or has already incorporated it as well.
