Segwit is running properly, its just a number of the big generators of TX's refuse to upgrade. - why?
LN has monetization built in, you can collect a small fee for relaying, it effectively allows you to put your BTC to work.

Interesting. I can see pool operators not wanting to upgrade, they get fees. However exchanges should have updated now to provide lowest cost transactions. Hm.

154000 transactions unconfirmed, this is still a problem....


Coinbase, Bitpay are the biggest generators of transactions and both have given weak reasons why they haven't upgraded. Perhaps the failure 2X has weighed on that decision - sour grapes.

The numbers of unconfirmed transactions is only a problem if you want to do small transactions. A task that will be performed by the LN network in the future, patience is needed, really what is the pressing rush to buy your coffee with Bitcoin, it can wait a few more years/months to ensure we get it right.
