it buy us enough time to find another solution, which is maybe better than blockstream and the sidechain thing, like we have found the segwit solution
so no, it can solve the problem
You don't know the definition of 'solving' in technology. What this is doing is postponing the problem (for a very short time period), ergo not a solution. Don't post further nonsense.
it's total overshill - is anyone taking all these ( how many now ? ) full blox!!! FUD threads seriously ?
The campaign seems very well funded.
Though I'm unsure how far and how fast SegWit can change the problems.
Segwit is necessary for things such as LN. Segwit can only add somewhat more capacity and is not the solution to this "problem". Actually there is no way to directly (on-chain) solve this "problem" without sacrificing decentralization.
Im no techie expert but using my limited knowledge & what I've researched I like the sound of SegWit being implemented in approx April 2016 & then push out the hardfork summer 2017. I think this is the best way to go.
Keep in mind the it will take a while to activate Segwit (depends on the miners). Even if it gets implemented early April, it will take additional time until it gets activated.
