adlai: what happens with
segwit is that people who do opt-in, have significantly less security in the face of miner defection
adlai: if you run a full node which has no recognition of
segwit, you can still operate normally.
segwit is dangerous for a) users of non-full nodes who think they have "SPV security" (whatever that may mean), and b) everybody, if enough utxos use
segwit that miner defection becomes a real risk
☟︎ shinohai: No official trb thread on bitcointalk, all this XT, bigger blocks, and
segwit nonsense there too. :/
BingoBoingo: Quent: Nah, the special
segwit transactions are noise until proven otherwise
ben_vulpes: ;;later tell adlai that post predated my ever hearing about
segwit assbot: Logged on 19-12-2015 23:49:50; punkman: the basic idea of
segwit is not bad, should have been there from the start, without the "softfork" complexity, no ANYONECANPAY-looking crap, without making another merkle tree, without blocksize discounts and enlargements, without planning to use it as a vehicle for future "painless" shitgnovation

☟︎ BingoBoingo: <pete_dushenski> ;;later tell BingoBoingo so chuck lee makes it an entire thousand words without sounding like a complete momo, only to finish with "P.S. I’m currently in favor of scaling Bitcoin via 2–4–8,
SegWit, and LN." like, wtf. << But he also took the castle analogy from a contravex it seems

adlai: as far as i can tell, the only person who mentions hardforking
segwit after this idea is your favorite costume artist

segwit softfork could actually result in a blocksize decrease for the non-
segwit blockchain
