Re: Satoshi Nakamoto: "Bitcoin can scale larger than the Visa Network"
Your wrong, follow the thread url. The hard sigop limit is the way to fight such attacks. All times are for worst case blocks than can be used for attacks and the same computer to make the comparsion fair.
I don't have time to follow that thread. So this is the worst case scenario? If we assume that this is true, then then Segwit seems pretty good. Added capacity without an increase in the amount of hashed data and no additional limitations. Yes, your right, these are worst case blocks known for such attacks, and it cant be worse with SegWit, only better. But because block can still be created without any SegWit transactions then the attack threat remains the same with future SegWit as is today.
SegWit is usefull and Bitcoin Core should start cooperate with Bitcoin Classic to get both activated, SegWit and BIP109. Without this, both activations will be much more difficult
