Title: Extension blocks are here!
Post by: jonald_fyookball on April 06, 2017, 10:57:26 PM
Not just a general proposal...there is actually a spec: https://github.com/tothemoon-org/extension-blocks/blob/master/spec.md

and code:  https://github.com/bcoin-org/bcoin-extension-blocks


This could end the debate...  We should be looking at this.

We need segwit now for a new reason: to kill the ASICBOOST scam.

Fut of course we wil never get enough hashrate for segwit so we are stuck until UASF.
