Bitcoin core developer Pieter Wuille recently completed a long-awaited upgrade to the bitcoin protocol. Segregated Witness, or 'SegWit' for short has now been published, and miners can now upgrade their software.
Having become an overnight sensation during the Hong Kong Scaling Bitcoin conference, in December of last year, SegWit redesigns the core process of the bitcoin protocol itself, making it more efficient.
The protocol change, which has also been referred to as 'Separated Signatures,' removes the part of each bitcoin transaction that carries the digital signature, putting them alongside the blockchain instead.
