[Dev] Segregated witness and BIP 102
-
@ghostlander You are right, we can’t switch to block version 4 based on the wallet versions only.
The idea is to use the time, until 0.11.X is ready to upgrade as many clients as possible to a version, that accepts blocks with version 4.
In an ideal world we would have 100% of 0.9.3.2 clients in the network, then define a block to switch over in the 0.11.X version and have to deal with the mining clients only, which of course must be upated to 0.11.x before the switch.
Any non-mining clients remaining on 0.9.3.2 then would not cause any harm and experience no change at all. -
Which Altcoins Are Implementing SegWit?
SegregatedWitness (SegWit) — the proposed upgrade to the Bitcoin protocol developed by the Bitcoin Core developers — is still far from activation. Requiring 95 percent of hash power to signal support for the solution, miner-adoption has seemingly stagnated at around 25 percent for now.
But, of course, SegWit’s open source code is out there. As such, altcoins based on Bitcoin’s codebase can take the code and implement the solution. Indeed, at least two altcoins are adopting SegWit: Litecoin and Viacoin …

We clearly need a similar trigger as Bitcoin to implement BIP 102.
I’d set the level above 90% better 95%.An alternate solution could be to advertize an upgrade to a new Version of code and announce the switch to BIP 102 for a given block number,like we did for the Neoscrypt fork

Looks like most coins are taking 75%. Looks like @Lizhi was right in one front, FTC might have got good publicity if we had gone first. Not so much if we did a Vertcoin!

@wrapper Yeah, some attention and publicity would be awesome until this Segwit hype is going on.

Not Just Bitcoin: Top 6 Altcoins Supporting Segregated Witness
http://cwt.top/en/news/2131/not-just-bitcoin-top-6-altcoins-supporting-segregated-witnessWell, other coins probably have more coders than we have at the moment…
-
Is there any chance to implement Segwit to FTC in the near future?
-
@SimonTower i wondered this too
-
@SimonTower No need actually. FTC has fast blocks with a lot of free space.
-
@ghostlander Sure, but with Segwit we could use some kind of lightning network solution.
-
@SimonTower Is there anyone who will provide and support this solution?
-
@ghostlander Everybody talks about these because of Bitcoin scaling problems. Litecoin doesn’t need it too but made it just like Viacoin. Look at their price now. I think we could reach the mass with a working Lightning network until the hype is going on. With a 75% support limit the community could make the decision. It’s only an idea of course. I found somebody who support it, lol:

@SimonTower Well, I don’t see a problem. It can be done.
-
It will definitely bring in more community members! Its a hot ticket right now.
