A question: Has the Segwit soft fork already taken place? If yes, did everything go well?
If not: Approximately, how many blocks in the last 2016 block periods have been mined with Segwit support? Is there a web site to view adoption by miners?
Already thanks for your answers! I'm researching a little bit about Segwit adoption in the "altcoin world" and Groestlcoin seems, until now, the most advanced with the issue.
Crossposting from other thread:
It was
95% of the blocks mined in the last 2016 blocks, like Bitcoin has.
CSV, Segwit and BIP65 timeline:
•
Signal: Miners will be able to signal that they are willing and able to enforce csv, segwit and BIP65 starting at the beginning of the first 2016 block retarget period on or after 21 January 2017 (UTC).
In short signalling started on block 1435392 which was on 21 january 2017•
Lock-in: Once 95% of blocks in a 2016 block long period have signaled that their miners are ready to enforce csv, segwit and BIP65 then csv, segwit and BIP65 will lock-in – meaning that unless the blockchain is rolled back at that point, csv, segwit and BIP65 will become active.
In short Lock-in happend on block 1437408 which was on 23 january 2017•
Activate: After another 2016 block period, csv, segwit and BIP65 will activate, allowing miners to produce blocks containing csv, segwit and BIP65 transactions on Groestlcoin’s mainnet.
In short Activate happend on block 1439424, which was on 24 january 2017.
So yes, it is activated since 24 january 2017.
Thank you and keep up the good work! Just downloaded a wallet to test it
You can verify the state in the wallet console by entering: "getblockchaininfo"
