LN is near ... SegWit is more than 10%.
Evolve stupid wallet processor !!!

[gentlemand]

So you moved your coins to a Segwit addr because LN will be released shortly ?
You wrote that implying there is a connection between the two things, but I don't see where.

Have you bought this account recently?

Special jan 1st tax discount dip, get you screen-shots ready! Tomorrow we can go back to 20k.

[CristiTCM]

Made the move to segwit today.
Decided to move all my BTC to a Segwit address. Have a feeling that LN will be released to the wild shortly.
No source just a gut feel.

we are getting close

lol - no. Did I say something that stupid ?

No Segwit, no secure lightning network. It can work without the malleability fix but it's a lot frillier without it.

 This is good news to start the new year!  Also, we're down to 125k unconfirmed transactions on the network

love the ascii-type art.
yes it is a bit bullish

Haa ha! I learned something today - thanx.
Soulda read the specs though, but I was too lazy up to day.

[edit] : Gave it a 2nd thought. I can keep my stash in Legacy addr, and move a few % of it to Segwit addr for LN to take care of it. So its a matter of balance between things.

When is this blizzard on the chart going to let up? It's been going on for a month and is giving me lag.

... and back on ignore you go. You've got serious issues, bro.

FYI there is a "Show/Hide" button on the right of ignored posts so you don't have to Unignore members for a dirty peek on a hidden message.

I know you know it, but anyway ...

would not a true ignore button make it so you dont even know that the ignoree actually posts?
otherwise whats the use? i mean last time i tried using it i ended up "dirty peeking" (love the term btw) every ignored post
outta curiosity which kinda renders the whole concept useless doesn't it? or maybe that's just me, idk....

 The ignore button sometimes works to clarify the thread.  No offence intended but it enables me to temporarily eliminate walls of text that don't interest me especially when I'm using my phone.

However, if someone quotes a post you ignored its full text gets displayed in the quote. There's no escaping quoted walls of text (like stolfi's).

They would need to phase out legacy addresses slowly, while allowing usage of old ones. They'd take several months before supporting Segwit only. Or never.

You can still use uncompressed legacy addresses today (but why would you when you can do compressed.)

Most people are lost on the workings of BTC and how to predict important factors like Fees.
I swear this user experience is so important to the ongoing viability for crypto overall, Im bullish on technology which enables the user not just theoretical achievements just being helpful and predictable is a massive bonus.   I agree with the recent posts by the ETH founder and others who state people have lost their way thinking of price, ironic thing to say on price thread but predicting price is looking at the more important factors  then speculators.  Im more bullish when people watch where they walk then staring at the sky

I can understand not delving into the maths side of things, but what BTC brings to the table is the ability to send money without banks. If you don't understand how to actually send coins, you shouldn't put money in this.

At Christmas dinner I was talking with a cousin who has put money into BTC recently and was worried. I didn't advise him that move, as I don't want the trouble. He was worried because of the correction, so I asked him : where are your coins, in your wallet ? He didn't know what a wallet was, everything is on an exchange... I educated him about the dangers of this, at least.
