Good news everyone: SegWit may finally be activated with majority support

[Hyena]

It is annoying to realize that probably 2/3 of the total exchanges are not using segwit wallets only for their own convenience.
That is crap, not even Bittrex who is the major exchange has a segwit wallet integrated.

because segwit is such a bullshit non-solution. what we are seeing here is the cold-hard truth that segwit did not work, blockstream has failed and should be disbanded.

Well, they could give it just a teensy weensy little try to see whether they actually like it and it makes a difference. The fact that many of the companies who put out the most blockchain use don't even bother to batch is a stupid and depressing stat.

apparently it makes more sense to integrate with bitcoin cash than to implement segwit. it's all a risk/reward ratio you know. implementing segwit comes at a cost. it costs companies money to get it implemented. on the other hand it almost costs nothing to integrate with bitcoin cash

i don't know if it is too soon to open up the Champagne bottles or not but it seems like we have some light at the end of the tunnel as SegWit is gaining an overwhelming miners support with the segwit2x proposal https://coin.dance/blocks

... and the moon in 3... 2... 1...

Isn't this Segwit fork different than the Segwit fork which was going on to take place in November? Miners are supporting this only because it would be easy for them to mine and profit easily. So is this fork also going to be the same as the BCH fork wherein the miners support the fork fully and this leads to pump and dump shit yet again.

Segwit is already bigger than Bcash...in fact people making more doge tx's than Bcash. Bcash blocks are always almost empty lol.

I heard that probably Coinbase is going to implement the segwit wallets soon, i dont know if this is real, but far as i know this is going to be fair for all of those who have money in those wallets (and that is pretty risky lmao)

Isn't the difference here the fact that the new "2x" version has replay protection? 

Now it isn't either/or,,,

And did I read Lightening Network accommodation? 

No, this will not be 'contentious', as the earlier fork was.  Yes this will be a fork that will be labeled a lesser of BTC, but who cares?  You get BOTH.  And it may fix some problems!   And it MAY let a NEW LEVEL of participation to take off, as well as add redundancy of the concept of crypto. 

Honestly, if you own 1 for/plus 1, and in the end have more capabilities and redundancy with the improvements,,, then what is the problem?  Your investment is protected.

This isn't "either/or".  The earlier one, without the replay protection, WAS.

I hope it happens myself....

If you think that you will end up with more coins, then you're super wrong. It's more them (potentially) going to 'upgrade' their entire operations to utilize Segwit, which has been active for quite a while now, but severely lacking actual adoption. I am sure that if Coinbase ever ends up doing so, other large economical entities will follow, and thus allow the network to breathe for once. Blocks will likely still be full, but it at least will help making things a bit less worse than how they are right now, which will translate into lower fees.

seems like back them support was there but this time around things are looking different and https://coin.dance/blocks shows very few are in support of this fork as i can only see 5% have signalled to support this project SegWit2x  which isnt looking good at the moment
