Title: Is there such a thing as double segwit? Post by: HarmlessBlueberry on August 14, 2017, 07:50:59 PM Is there such a thing as double segwit
Title: Re: Is there such a thing as double segwit? Post by: cr1776 on August 14, 2017, 10:45:51 PM Is there such a thing as double segwit Would that be desegregated witness? Seriously, can you explain what you are asking in more detail? Segwit vs Segwit2x? Something else? Title: Re: Is there such a thing as double segwit? Post by: HeRetiK on August 15, 2017, 01:28:33 AM Is there such a thing as double segwit Do you mean Segwit2x? That's a potential hardfork further down the road (Oct / Nov) with an increased (doubled) blocksize in addition to Segwit, hence the name Segwit2x. Title: Re: Is there such a thing as double segwit? Post by: error08 on August 15, 2017, 06:05:06 AM There is only one segwit right now which activated through BIP141, SegWit is a backwards compatible protocol upgrade originally proposed by the Bitcoin Core development team.
But it will be split into two as there is segwit2x which is a hard fork to double Bitcoin's base block size. So, we have; 1. segwit (will be activated on August 21st) 2. segwit2x (segwit + hard fork in order to increase block size > 2MB on November 2017) Why there are two segwit? Because core developers do not agree with 2Mb hard fork because not all SegWit2x nodes are 100% compatible with the current network conditions either. and core devs have planned to develop bitcoin core 0.15.0 that will automatically disconnects any network node which runs segwit2x.
