Dollars? eBay? What sort of Bitcoiner is this? Oh right, the sort that wants to start the 1,0001st failed attempt at a hard fork dev team coup
Can you not engage in a meaningful debate?
Listen, we get shilled and trolled to high heaven on this forum by people sugesting exactly your forthright assertion that blocksize needs increasing via hardfork. If you're onboard with Segwit, coming in with suggestions to cut off >half the hashrate is really disruptive, if nothing else, particularly seeing as Segwit
is a blocksize increase.
Segwit is implemented and has been recently merged for the upcoming version... However, the exact details of activation have not been set yet.
It might come out earlier, in 0.12.2. Depends how they schedule it all. Activation is the same/similar to the other soft forks: 95% of blocks in a 2016 block window locks the activation date to
another 2016 blocks after that.
