I am thinking about pushing a Segwit patch to Bitcoin Cash github. Any chance it would be approved on time before 1 Aug?
You can try. I'm guessing you'll be met with an overwhelming chorus of NAKs.
Damn Bitcoin Cash Core ! They want to control everything! They are stopping real scalability for their own benefit!
Hahah.
On a more serious note: There are several other mechanisms that fix malleability. There is still a discussion to be had as to whether or not SegWit is the best approach.
Fixing malleability is important, but my predilection for Segwit goes much more far than that.
- INSTANT transactions...
- Unlimited transaction capacity...
- Once we have L2 in place, many of the improvements could be done as an additional layer...
- With Rootstock ...
Yeah. See, the thing is: none of that is dependent upon SegWit. A fix for malleability -- any fix for malleability -- simplifies those advances, but even that is not required for the features of which you speak.
