Which is bigger, 2 MB blocks or 4 MB blocks   Roll Eyes

And that 4MB is 1MB of transactional data space, and 3MB of segwit data space, the latter of which is mostly reserved for future use.

So don't mislead others into thinking that all of a sudden we will get a 4 fold increase in transactional capacity. We won't.

When you say "Segwit data", you're talking about the data that signs transactions, to prove that the real user actually sent the money.


Are you sure it's not you misleading everyone dwarf? By pretending that signing the transactions is somehow something new, or unneeded? Smiley

Don't worry, franky1 gave a bit more detail in case my wording could be considered as misleading.

And that 4MB is
1MB of transactional data space, and 3MB buffer space, that only partially fills dependant on the % of segwit users in the base block
(0% segwit in 1mb base=0of the 3mb extra used(1mb total))
(10% segwit in 1mb base=0.1mb of the 3mb used(1.1mb total))
(100% segwit in 1mb base=1.1mb of the 3mb used(2.1mb total))

 the latter of which(atleast 1.9mb) is mostly reserved for future use.

So don't mislead others into thinking that all of a sudden we will get a 4 fold increase in transactional capacity. We won't.
