Title: Segregated witness question Post by: Peter789 on May 09, 2017, 09:09:17 PM We are all concerned about the btc dispute.
I read that the Segregated witness had a host of other improvements to protocol. Could anyone please tell me what other improvements these are? Thanks Title: Re: Segregated witness question Post by: BurtW on May 10, 2017, 04:29:08 AM One I learned about the other day: 256 bit Bitcoin addresses in addition to the 160 bit addresses we have today.
You can about the reasoning here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1895455.0;all The actual details of the proposal are better found in BIP 173: https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0173.mediawiki Title: Re: Segregated witness question Post by: bitkilo on May 10, 2017, 04:38:01 AM Another good link to read up on what SegWit will bring to the network is this one: https://bitcoincore.org/en/2016/01/26/segwit-benefits/
