Samourai Wallet Intends to Run BIP 148 Until SegWit is Fully Activated

Samourai Wallet, one of the most innovative privacy-focused wallet service providers in the market, intends to run Bitcoin Improvement Proposal BIP 148 until the Bitcoin Development team’s transaction malleability fix and scaling solution Segregated Witness (SegWit) is fully activated.

BIP 148 and lockin of SegWit

The Bitcoin community and industry have come significantly closer to the activation of SegWit. However, as Bitcoin Core developer and well-respected cryptography consultant Peter Todd explained earlier this week, the lock-in of BIP 91, a kludge-like solution between BIP 141 (original SegWit proposal) and SegWit2x, does not necessarily mean that SegWit activation is completely finalized as of yet.

At the moment, contrary to most expectations, the mining community is fully signaling their intent to activate BIP 141, the safest and the most efficient way to activate SegWit according to Todd.

In fact, according to various sources and block analysis platforms such as Coin Dance, SegWit activation via BIP is close, but not quite there yet.
