No, not to my knowledge. As far as I know, it would take a certain % of consensus to enable this feature, but we are seeing some delay in this consensus to form, but then again I never fully understood how segwit was going to be deployed into the main net. I think 0.12.1 already has segwit but it's just not deployed yet? something like that.

Is there any source for this? Are you referring to P. Todd's tweet?

Thanks.

So if nothing changes, there's no capacity increase happening anytime soon. Unless they push through 2mb + AsicBoost patent blocker in one hardfork.

Future is not looking very bright.

No. The ETA was April for the code to be released, not merged (!). There's a huge difference here and it seems like users do not know. The code is being thoroughly tested while also some missing pieces are being added. The last time that I was looking into this, the information pointed towards a release in Core 0.12.2 which is the next version.

There's a difference between releasing code and merging it. From what I understand, the people that were part of the HK agreement are currently working on a proposal and it should be released in < 2 months.

Sounds about right lol.

No segwit is not cancelled. SegWit is critical for LN to work which is critical (in addition to not raising the maximum block size) to blockstream ever becoming profitable.

Has anyone from the Blockstream actually clarified on what's their revenue generation model yet? I reckon they must have pitched to investors with something bigger than LN.

Is segwit cancelled?

No, (not yet) just not made yet, just not tested yet, just not released yet.



How can it be thoroughly tested while still adding "missing" bits?

Either you are, or you misinterpreted my initial words. What I initially said "< 2 months", i.e. my statement had nothing to do with Segwit, but the release of the HF code as per HK agreement. Aside from that, I'm not particularly interested in "I won't do X, until you do Y" games nor the correlation between the releases.

That would be my cat. My cat does not make mistakes.

Take a look at the to-do list.

Update: Again, I have never said that there's no correlation between the HF code and Segwit. I said that there's no correlation in my post, which there isn't as it was solely about the time remaining until HF code needs to be released.

"* Do tests in a mixed network of upgraded and non-upgraded nodes."

That should take a while.
Then when all these parts are put together, all that will need testing.
Far more than a small block increase, which is more predictable.

Part of the problem of promising something that still needed making.
With no back up plan for delays, proper testing time or lack of general adoption.

For the scrolling impaired:


Maybe I'm just reading what Peter Todd wants to see? I guess it's possible.

Jihan's tweet was in reference to the word-play that Core and their PR team is now using, where "release" = "pull req".

Gregory Maxwell called Adam, Luke, Peter, BlueMatt all dipshits for even agreeing to a hard fork in July 2017, and you think it is easy peasy to get done... Well, I guess optimism can be good trait. Delusional optimism? not so much.
