I understand that segwit provides the possibility for things like payment channels etc. But why is it being touted as a scaling solution for BITCOIN, knowing that segnet and Bitcoin are two different things. I think the topic of this thread is about The BITCOIN blocksize debate unless i misread the title. . .
SFSW has been sold as being done
in lieu of an increase to the BITCOIN max_block_size (contrary to HK "consensus" meeting), so yes, it is relevant here.
