.... segwit will incress node cost and have the EXACT same "centralizing" effect as a 2MB HF.

segwit's "2MB effective block size".... idk why they didnt just call it  segwit's "Magical capacity incress."

lol wake up poeple you've been lied to and manipulated.



True, but segwit enables LN and other off chain solutions that bump all micro payments one layer up.

Where 2MB HF just buys short period of time until people start bitching about 4MB HF, then 8MB... how big should the blocks be to match PayPal? Visa?

poeple can bitch for GB blocks all day long, miners have orphen risk to worry about they can't won't make blocks that the network can't quickly digest.
the TX malleability fix required to allow LN to work properly is another magical piece of code only segwit can deliver....



Meh let's give them a red button and hope they don't press it cause it would negatively effect them just doesn't give that warm fuzzy feeling for a multi billion currency.

So you're suggesting just a fork for TX malleability fix? Why does the rest of segwit code bother you so much? Because of HF? Seems like a separate argument from the big blocks

meh i dont really care about segwit all that much or the 2MB HF.
i care about keeping bitcoin decentralized.
core = central authority imposing its blockstream on us.
thats what bothers me....

i'm probably just being paranoid and exaggerating the reality of the situation
everything will work out just fine.
we aren't going in the directions that i had hoped to see, but its fairly close.
i like LN
i like more space in blocks
SOON we'll have both.
I can't complain Too much...
