I think SegWit is a good idea. It will have an effect and will bring bitcoin forward even in the future. It will cut down the space needed for transactions for a certain amount. Regardless of the amount of transactions and current blocksize. So even with 50MB blocks, Segwit might still be able to nearly double the amount. This is a good thing.
There are other benefits that come along with Segwit as well. It is not just about the transaction capacity.

Though I doubt that Segwit will be able to solve the situation fast enough. You know yourself that even when Segwit gets implemented today, the effect would only slowly rise to an effect bringing down the situation. And in the meanwhile the situation can always grow higher than our heads.
Actually this is a good thing. Even if we had a 2 MB block size limit today there is no guarantee that the miners would not impose limits of their own. The sudden bump is not needed.

Yes, not needed if you want to transfer more market cap to Ethereum every day.

Actually there is nothing dumb by doing this, it is well working plan to get financial profit out of rising altcoins when you send Bitcoins users/speculators there because they see Bitcoin is not build on solid grounds anymore when they realizing not enought capacity for everyone.

Just to show there are selfish financial interests behind, the recent HK consensus deal was possible because F2Pool agreed when at least one participant went on long Bitcoin position right before the HK meeting and if the consensus deal failed, the participant would have huge financial loss. Also Alex insisted to not waste his time by such long negatioating without a result. F2Pool clearly stated he would not agree to such deal if not these two cases - the negatioating would continue the next day probably.

In HK, Alex asked me to “respect” his time by agree the consensus asap. Also someone else told me he had bought long position just before the roundtable, if we did not agree, he would lose huge financially. If it was not these two, I would probably have escaped away that night.

Looks like it's over, only 10k transactions are unconfirmed now. The average fees are also a big high but can be tolerated for the greater good.

I hope the segwit gets deployed soon.

You sure about that?

Whell, the segwit testnet had a chain fork, we're not really sure why... It's much safer than changing a one to a two tho, and will give us (maybe) 75% of the capacity of the alternative while completely changing the fee economics (75% cheaper) for LN tx.

I think the best idea would be to rush it out as a capacity fix ASAP on a $6 billion monetary network.   Undecided

You mean to not rush it? I dont understand what you are saying.

If its bugged, then they better test it more, its not good to gamble with a 6 billion $ market.

That's what he's saying.

Forgive my petulance and oft-times, I fear, ill-founded criticisms, and forgive me that I have, by this time, made your eyes and head ache with my long letter. But I cannot forgo hastily the pleasure and pride of thus conversing with you.

Can you elaborate? Do you mean less space needed for the same amount of transactions or something directly depending?

Don't say LN, I don't see that as a benefit. Smiley

Though I doubt that Segwit will be able to solve the situation fast enough. You know yourself that even when Segwit gets implemented today, the effect would only slowly rise to an effect bringing down the situation. And in the meanwhile the situation can always grow higher than our heads.
Actually this is a good thing. Even if we had a 2 MB block size limit today there is no guarantee that the miners would not impose limits of their own. The sudden bump is not needed. Depending on how much transaction capacity is needed, people are going to adopt clients that already support Segwit. If they don't do so, they are technically saying that they don't need/want more TPS.

Why should the miners impose limits or softlimits again? I don't see a reason for them for doing so. If you speak about propagation time and orphaned blocks athen there already are solutions to this with Matt's? network. That network even beats zero transaction blocks at the moment.

Well, your last sentence is of somewhat psychological sneaky. Surely not everyone wants segwit. There are enough fears against it. It doesn't mean that they don't want more TPS. They might want it another way and that is completely legit.

Wow, that's pretty sneaky. So to understand it correctly, the consensus is agreeing to the core devs steps of segwit-lightning network?

Well, as escrow I hear often sentences like "You waste mine and SebastianJu's time. Send the funds asap or he will give you red trust.". Sentences like that are written often by scammers to push time and to make people less able to check out the goods. Or if someone found a problem with the goods the seller might want to force him to pay that way.

If such sentences really are used in that topic then it has a bad sound.

Here is an article that should help you get started: Segwit benefits.

Why should the miners impose limits or softlimits again? I don't see a reason for them for doing so. If you speak about propagation time and orphaned blocks athen there already are solutions to this with Matt's? network. That network even beats zero transaction blocks at the moment.
Why have they done so in the past? There is nothing that suggests that they wouldn't do so again.

Well, your last sentence is of somewhat psychological sneaky. Surely not everyone wants segwit. There are enough fears against it. It doesn't mean that they don't want more TPS. They might want it another way and that is completely legit.
No, it is not. It is just a logical statement. Once Segwit is implemented you have two options: 1) Use a client that supports it; 2) Use one that doesn't. If you opt for option two you are indirectly stating that you don't want the increased capacity or you don't need it.

Yea but the blocks are not full anymore, or atleast they are back to previous weeks levels, so everything is normal again, so technically this thread is pointless now.

But sure it can be kept open for discussing the general issue.

Interesting read. Did not know all the points...

Why should the miners impose limits or softlimits again? I don't see a reason for them for doing so. If you speak about propagation time and orphaned blocks athen there already are solutions to this with Matt's? network. That network even beats zero transaction blocks at the moment.
Why have they done so in the past? There is nothing that suggests that they wouldn't do so again.

The only have done so in the past because it was the default setting in the client. I believe it was at 750kB. Even with spam attacks there were often blocks with that size so the soft limit kicked in because those miners were not aware of that setting. That limit was set higher on default later, I believe, and the miners were informed to raise it.

But they did not set it down themselfes. Maybe some did but it was not the big mass.

Well, your last sentence is of somewhat psychological sneaky. Surely not everyone wants segwit. There are enough fears against it. It doesn't mean that they don't want more TPS. They might want it another way and that is completely legit.
No, it is not. It is just a logical statement. Once Segwit is implemented you have two options: 1) Use a client that supports it; 2) Use one that doesn't. If you opt for option two you are indirectly stating that you don't want the increased capacity or you don't need it.

Well I hope you are not one of the persons that live in a black and white world. I had tiring discussions on political topics with people like that and everyone who saw things a little bit different than they... were on the black side.

There is still the option to not use Segwit and use, or wait to use, a client that supports bigger blocks.

This is simply no black and white question.

Then it is time to stop acting like you do.

The default setting in the client is still 750kB (IIRC), ergo you're wrong.

There is still the option to not use Segwit and use, or wait to use, a client that supports bigger blocks.
Which effectively does nothing. If you use Segwit then you are contributing to the more efficient use of transaction space (i.e. the effective block size will be higher). The users decide whether the added space is going to be e.g. 100kB or 500kB.

Yea but the blocks are not full anymore, or atleast they are back to previous weeks levels, so everything is normal again, so technically this thread is pointless now.
I would not be surprised if another attack occurred. However, the recommended fee is still higher than usual.

Looks like the attacker ran out of money, and probably ended up at net loss, next time they should think twice before attacking bitcoin.

The recommended fee is an average, so it needs more datapoints until it smoothens out and gets lowered.

I can now send a small transaction with 10k satoshi again so it should be ok.

Holding only bitcoins will make you stressed every time the price falls or stuff like this happens, but if you build an altcoin portfolio, you will sleep better at night.

The crazy cap is the reason why the network can be attacked without much money. With segwit it will be worse.

agreed - keep money moving in altcoins requires time but more chance of proofit
