Price forecast!

So no segwit until HF code is released (Blockstream considers "released" a pull req, apparently). Wake me up in 14 months grentlement.

So cheap coins for longer?

I think they might find themselves out in the cold if they fuck around for that long. That's just crazy.

no sigwit no pump ? 

SELL ?

Miners postpone SW until HF is released:

My reading is that they won't activate segwit until there is a pull req for a hard fork.

Say the HF code comes out in July, miners then activate segwit, and the HF code is programmed to not activate until July 2017.

Sadly, it's not looking good for additional capacity in time for the halving. Shocker.

Probably means HF-trigger code (for next year activation), not HF.

~0.6mb/block lately... median fees at 0.04$.

Business as usual.

Agreed, the relief valve working just fine.

I checked out of curiosity, seems like their block explorer is full of mining and poloniex txs... so I don't think they are taking any load from BTC. Actually it wouldn't make any sense to do so as LTC, DASH and DOGE have more widespread adoption than ETH - they are the primary candidates for taking more txs.

But we can still use Segwit on testnet, right?

Speculation and mining are the main economic activity of all coins, including BTC. A growth-capped BTC is good for all alts, I'm sure your DASH will have its day in the sun too. No need for concern, just keep supporting Blockstream, it'll happen.

so some chinese  miners said " no segwit until 'HF to 2MB next year' code is released  "

fuck ya, good for the miner.

shame on core for interpreting "released" as the code is available with a pull-req.
no you little dumb fucks, it means the code is PART OF THE FUCKING BUILD!
you shit heads!


sorry i sometimes lose my cool when i get worked up about core devs.
