Hello guys, I really don't understand all the "excitement" about that SegWit thing. It already activated couple of days ago and still nothing - too many unconfirmed transactions, fees are very high, block sizes are still under 1 MB, and slow confirmations. Where is the promised lightning network? When (if at all) the current situation will change?
I have not noticed any thing new since segwit was claimed to have been launched, infact there now seems to be more transactions on the network that are now taking longer to be confirmed, even transaction fees have been increasing rapidly.
