Bitcoin growth over the years has outgrown the 1st layer scaling solution that Satoshi Nakamoto has envisioned with Block

size increases. This has lead to the congestion of the network and higher fees. Fortunately for us some Developers have

already worked on a solution, called SegWit and also the Lightning Network. SegWit was implemented and it is slowly gaining

traction, but the ultimate solution {Lightning Network} is still being tested. {Some sites has gone live on the main network,

but it is still small.}  Cheesy

The problem is already solved, it just has to go mainstream.  Grin

I also heard about SegWit and Lightning Network (but well, I don't understand that much as I am not a techie). But what will happen with the current coin (BTC) if they change the technology underneath? Will they remain the same or will there be a fork  Huh
2  Bitcoin / Bitcoin Discussion / Transactions getting slower over time? on: January 15, 2018, 02:05:32 PM
I just new to bitcoin world. I made a tiny transaction yesterday (worth ~$15) and I needed to wait until today (~12h) until the transaction is confirmed.

Why is it so slow? Is it because of less and less people are mining bitcoins since it's not profit now? Will it get progressively slower over time?

Thanks
