Title: [BREAKING NEWS]: SegWit Lock-in Today 8th August 19:50 UCT
Post by: Minecache on August 07, 2017, 05:24:45 PM
Are you excited?

~15 blocks to go.

Not really. Everyone that had a clue about Bitcoin knew Segwit was going in sooner or later. It's the most tested code ever, it's perfectly fine. Im tired of conspiracy theorists and their bullshit. I wonder where they will go once we get Segwit enabled and nothing wrong happens. They will stick around for a while waiting for a doomsday scenario that will never come, that will be fun to see. They will become like Alex Jones of cryptocurrency waiting for collapse.

The price may drop for all I know. People like to sell the news. Just buy the dip, we are going $5000 this year (if NYC agreement clowns don't ruin the price, and hardforkers are always ready to ruin the price with their idiocy)

It's like being excited it's going to snow in winter.
All the doomsday preachers have gone silent since august 2nd, bcc is down the drain, there is nothing left to get anxious for.

99% of the people who really cared about this already knew the outcome and know what path we have chosen.
And for quite some time this path has no surprises.

The breaking news tag is misused once again on this forum. This isn't new really nor is it breaking news. I think tomorrow is going to be pretty uneventful just like August 1st. Unless the segwit activation hasn't priced in yet.

August 8 is not really surprising as most are expecting already this coming activation. But I still see this as something of an event. More especially if we are again making another new ath.

It was well known stuff right before the august month. Mos of us had the news from managers and clues from the news that segwit will get locked and there won't be any splitting or vigour effect of this hard fork. Now 8th August is just the date when everything gets locked in and decided in full fledged that segwit wins. After effect might include increased price of bitcoin because it is the main supporter of bitcoin.

The excitement was in the last a few months during the test phases and while reading how SegWit will help bitcoin etc. now I'm just happy that we finally got it. but I'm definitely excited about the upcoming TumbleBit and Lightning network though that will be brought after SW getting activated.

So, BTC price will go further up once SegWit activates?


Title: [OLD OLDS]: SegWit Activation ~ in 2 weeks
Post by: Lutpin on August 07, 2017, 06:50:58 PM
It won't activate just yet.
Once locked-in (roughly 200 blocks away), segwit needs another full activation period before actually activating.



So, BTC price will go further up once SegWit activates?
Price speculation has no place here, there's a dedicated sub-forum for it.

The period of excitement has gone with August 1. Segwit was expected and clear to all, more or less everyone knows what could be expected so tomorrow will pass without drama. But what we all expect and probably are excited for is further rise of bitcoin price and we all wonder where it stopes, where is the highest limit it could go.

There's no way we will know for certain (if I could forsee the future I would already be a billionaire) and segwit being locked may have been already priced in. So it's possible we will see a sell the news effect. But even if that happens it's only a better buying opportunity for us pioneers.

Post by: runam0k on August 07, 2017, 07:20:13 PM
I'm excited and I'm traditionally a bigger blocker. I think a lot of devs have been working largely on the assumption SegWit will happen and this brings it one step closer. Entering into the home straight. Excited to see what devs do once SegWit actually activates.

Only three short months before SegWit2x HF (if it happens), hopefully we see something tangible from SegWit before then (might make it easier to postpone or drop the 2x bit).

SegWit Activation tomorrow 8th 19:50 UTC? How come? Quote from Coin.dance:
Code:
Current Count: 1753 / 2016 blocks (100% so far)
263 blocks remaining in this signalling period.
BIP 141 (Segregated Witness) is currently projected to lock in during this period.
263 blocks away to LOCK IN. Not to Activation. And 263 blocks it's 44 hours which is 1 day and 20 hours. So that will be in morning of August 9th, am I correct?

According to Segwit.co, we actually only need 1916 blocks, which means that there are 163 blocks left, or something like 1 day and ~3 hours. So maybe it's really tomorrow? I have read a few times people talking about August 8th. So I wouldn't doubt that this one is the correct date.

Code:
SEGWIT LOCK-IN PERIOD:
SegWit lock-in this period? Probably.
Lock-in threshold expected at ≈Tue, 08 Aug 2017 19:19:59 GMT.
Period ends at ≈Wed, 09 Aug 2017 09:59:59 GMT.
Next period ends at ≈Mon, 21 Aug 2017 17:40:59 GMT.

252 blocks before current lock-in period ends.
Still 152 blocks needed for a lock-in.
100% SegWit blocks mined in this lock-in period.
Just 60.3% SegWit blocks needed for a lock-in!

https://www.xbt.eu/

I think it should be around Aug 9. I think this will just come and go we already saw what happened in the price during HF. But this is a step forward for the bitcoin technology in general. Just another bump along the road that can be overcome just don't get to excited about it.

As long as we don't know how things will play out in November this year (referring to the 2MB hard fork), there is no such a thing as relief. People get blinded by current price increase and how things haven't resulted in a big negative drama at the 1st of August. I am conservative from nature, but in this case my convervativeness is well justified. In that regard, we shouldn't be surprised to see a huge load of fud and trolling happen in the last few weeks, before the hard fork is supposed to kick in. That's why at this point I don't see the price go up further than the $4000 level. It will form a temporary peak till we know how things will play out in November.

I think that 5000$ is too much, segwit is not always pumping the price, ofcourse we saw a huge pump from Litecoin, but if you look on Viacoin, which also has Segwit its price stays and doesn`t grow. I guess we will see bitcoin about 4000$ by the end of this year.

What makes you day eventful ,but in the case of bitcoin August 1st was the most important day as we saw a network split to begin with and still it is nothing big  :P Lets see how much support we get tomorrow ,if everything goes smooth we will be seeing the rally keeps on going and that is what i am expecting too.

Many experts predicted a bitcoin crash August 1. As we know this did not happen. I think that August 8, nothing will happen. I don't understand why the price should go up. I think people are crazy and looking for any excuse for rising prices. I am ready for that the price growth will stop. From that bitcoin will not become worse.

Excited to see what this can bring for cryptos in the future. Like it or not, all other coins kinda depend on Bitcoin... It's the most used and most known/mainstream coin we have, and having it succeed means other altcoins can also ride the wave.

Maybe it's already priced in, but if the block times improve and transaction fee's get smaller, i believe we can still see a big surge in price this quarter! One can hope :)

I am also excited about this but not as excited like I have felt last Aug 1 especially regarding BTC's price. We are already seeing price movement in BTC because of SegWit activation. But as always, we still don't what will happen regarding its price. It can either go to the moon or crash to 2k-ish area. Here's just hoping for a successful activation of it.

It's only being locked in, not activated, so nothing very exciting about it. Nobody can use Segwit transactions yet, in other words. We've spent so many months debating Segwit and now preparing for its activation, that it almost feels like a non-event at this point...


Title: Re: [BREAKING NEWS]: SegWit Activation Tomorrow 8th August 19:50 UCT
Post by: CyberKuro on August 07, 2017, 10:46:08 PM
You're right, really excited about this. There is no chance for daily traders spread a misleading news and trying to dump bitcoin for now obviously.
Because people know what will happen in this month, bitcoin will be on bull run again, maybe.
I guess bitcoin could reach $4000 in this month and people will be tempted to sell their bitcoin, and regret it later.
Do not sell your bitcoin, unless you really need to, don't have any other options.

all altcoin are contained in the 300 USD range after the first month.
and we know what ... (scam).

netwok matter.
Bitcoin is a real network.

altcoin are jokes in a network view (and functionalities/utilities).

Nothing to be so exited about. In past weeks 100% of blocks are BIP91 and it's something very expected.

The drama date was 1st Aug. But everything went fine, so now it's just something like extension.

First of all mate that's not BTH but something like BCC or BCH or maybe they have decided to change the name once more and I'm unaware of it?

Keep hodling and then what? eventually hodlers are hodling for one obvious reason which is dumping some day, guess who'd dump that altcoin later

When unsuspected fools start trading it daily? people are buying now just in case of another split to dump their free coins once again if they're lucky.

my excitement was for back when everyone was panicking and hitting their heads on the walls while i was buying their coins cheap. price was nearly half the current price (~$1800) 2 weeks ago.
and from now on there will only be rises and nothing more. and at least for 2 or 3 months tops this will continue as a big rally.

and with SegWit there will continue to be more news of new features, the LN for instance, and all that coming out means continuous price rise.

This was expected cause it was already announced after the hardfork or split if you are always here in bitcointalk and always updated in the current news of bitcoin. You'll know what will happen in August 8 im the price will reach new crazy highs for this is bitcoin expect some crazy things to happen that will benefit bitcoin. Im sure there will be another conspiracy theories that will tell you about some imaginary scenarios that will most likely have not occur or will never occur. I can't wait until segwit gets activated and nothing goes wrong just like they said, i wonder what would be their reactions. ? Bitcoin to the moon!

If the first August was successful for bitcoins, then the eighth with SegWit will pass for him without any tangible consequences. I think especially no one is going through the same way as before the first of August. Perhaps bitcoin will fall a little bit in price, and maybe in his course it will not be reflected at all and it will continue to grow.

Will Segwit activation affect either the transaction cost or the time taken to complete a transaction compared to before the hard fork?

I'm happy that everything happened as per our thoughts and votes. The segwit will change the face of bitcoin from super star to wonder star now and the price is gonna head up the 4K value for sure. So it's time to enjoy the upcoming winter with bitcoin. Cheers segwit by the way.

wow but its still a matter of support before we can say that it will be a upward moves we still knew that there's still some big whales that will
try to shaken it up but for me in the long run segwit activation will be a good update to happen to attract more newbies to start learning how
this investment will work on both side, service and system.

The price says it all, people are excited as can be seen from the current prices which have pushed its value to an all time high in the same time frame as SegWit Activation, seems segwit isn't freaking people out as the chain split did because segwit is something that has been tested on a different crypto (litecoin) and works fine with no problems. Looks like we ready to go to the moon 🚀.

Segwit will make the price go to $4000 when it activates. There may be a fake dump to trigger idiots into panic selling before the big pump, but the price will continue into a serious uptrend for the rest of the month and into September.

Then, mid September to mid October Jeff Garzik, Evorhees and the rest of fiat corporate usual suspects thinking they know what's the best for Bitcoin, will FUD with segwit2x and crash the price.

The community has happily welcomed the Segwit that we can see through the price appreciation. But still the scaling debate hasn't over. There is still a fork scheduled in November. There would again be an uncertain period during November. But other than that we will see an uptrend in the price.

~15 blocks to go.  :o
Where are you tracking the progress? I thought still 100 blocks were left, maybe I'm a little behind.

BIP 141 doesn't require 100% of blocks to signal for it for it to activate.  Its threshold is only 95%.

If 1916 blocks signal SegWit, it's definitely going to lock in regardless of what happens with the later blocks.

At this point though, it would require pretty much every single miner in existence to coordinate not to signal SegWit, which is almost completely impossible.  There are only 4 blocks to go.

Even though I really yet to understand the effect of this in bitcoin with the series of conflicting views, I would really appreciate it more if it can put a rest to his issue of scaling or no scaling, and also on the release about the continuance increase in fees that would still be witnessed despite all this by the lightening developer. If all this won't happen, then I am not surprised neither am I happy about since the status quo will remain the same.

Segwit is activated : http://segwit.co/

Miners can produce Segwit Boobs Blocks, now.

Block capacity/size increase

Since old nodes will only download the witness-stripped block, they only enforce the 1 MB block size limit rule on that data. New nodes, which understand the full block with witness data, are therefore free to replace this limit with a new one, allowing for larger block sizes.

Segregated witness therefore takes advantage of this opportunity to raise the block size limit to nearly 4 MB, and adds a new cost limit to ensure blocks remain balanced in their resource use (this effectively results in an effective limit closer to 1.6 to 2 MB).

Segwit is the final nail in the coffin of BSCore/Segwit Coin hostile takeover attempt and subversion of Bitcoin to continue our slave society. RIP.

Long live Bitcoin Cash, the REAL Bitcoin envisioned by genius Satoshi Nakamoto designed to provide us with financial sovereignty.

Can we stop with this outdated Satoshi vision?

Satoshi was no god and even gods make mistakes.
He had no idea that bitcoin can be mined in pools, he had no idea about gpu hashing

We are already past his vision

We should have a gentleman's agreement to postpone the GPU arms race as long as we can for the good of the network.  It's much easer to get new users up to speed if they don't have to worry about GPU drivers and compatibility.  It's nice how anyone with just a CPU can compete fairly equally right now.

So stop with the REAL bitcoin
The REAL bitcoin is decided by the users not by some old relic

Big blockers still derping hard by selling their fork as the sovereign Bitcoin while not explainng how their shitcoin centralizes the nodes into the hands of a few corporations.

They also aren't explaining the 100% centralized hashrate:

Looks like they only bring hashrate if it supports their agenda.

It was also the eighth of August. SegWit left and again nothing significant for bitcoin has not gone through. And why worry? And bitcoin continues to grow in value.

Tgats right. 8th od August passed imperceptible and without so much panic and stress as it was a week ago. All this changes didn't bring those results I was hope for, besides a higher price. I think we will never see again cheap transactions. The price has moved only in a one side, and it's constant growth.

Looks like segwit didnt affect the price, it has been stable since yesterday between $3300 - $3500, so we have to wait and see if there a big movements on the market for next days. Next event is at august 23rd as there is another SegWit event and it can affect the price, but it think the price will be stable.
what do you guys think?

There wasn't any panic left with respect to 8th August. Segwit was already supported by 95% miners and everyone knew that lock in period will go smoothly.

The price is stable. Then it's good anyway. There is nothing to be too much to be concerned with.

4 blocks in the last 30 minutes.

I guess the lockdown is locked and nothing happened and won't happen, at least until the next big event.

Right?

Yeah I think most of the uncertainty is behind us now, and the price has increased huge from that.  I thought Bitcoin would get a price bump from people dumping their BCH, but I think the fairly smooth transition without major hiccups had a larger impact.

It’s locked in now.

Anyways this is exciting stuff, finally something is done.

I know that people have expected this to happen basically since the beginning but nobody really knew when it was going to happen. We’ve been waiting for years for something to be done and even though we expect it to happen, for me it is still exciting.

Price should be going up, in my opinion. But probably not a lot, maybe like $50-100.

The real pump should be coming later this month when segwit is actually activated. Currently it’s just locking in the plan, not activating.

It has been locked in already. The Coin Dance website says that BIP 141 has locked in with 100% support today. And it further claims that the activation is scheduled to take place in another 2,055 Blocks.

Now we have to wait 2 additional weeks for the grace period in order to get segwit working into the system. It's going to be great to finally see segwit working, and all the haters will have to stay quiet because it's going to go smooth, the price will be good, and the system will work.

What will be interesting to see, is how Bitcoin Cash react. It's possible that they pump it too, and try to dump Bitcoin for a while, but that will not last.
