If Segwit is implemented, will it truly be a solution to Bitcoins scaling problem?
If the price rockets after 1 august, it would be put to the test right?
Yes, I think it will. The proposal comes with a slight block size upgrade and also some code that would make spam attacks a lot more expensive. We will see real scaling, if the Lightning Network can be implemented, but I cannot see that we would reach that stage in the near future.
The first step is already enough to handle the push to the next level. ^smile^
