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.
Basically, yeah, according to Carlton.
People need to call out this bullshit, why is everyone okay with this?
Apathy mostly, Id say. Most of the users left around here are sig spammers, dropping one-liners of meaningless drivel for their weekly shekel. Others think that if the price is going up on the exchange... it must be the right roadmap. The average Bitcoiner assumes Whell, the experts must know more than me (they do), they must be looking out for my best interests (they might not be).
They go to bitcoin.org to get their software, they go to theymos owned outlets for their information weve created a bizarre little microcosm of the real world, happened faster and easier than I expected.
