ArtByte announced that SegWit is now enabled on their testnet.

ArtByte SegWit Update
On the ArtByte testnet SegWit/CSV is now locked in, we've finished the activation period.
Now we are in the "grace period" (just like the two week period that Bitcoin is entering today). This period allows users to upgrade their software to support the new style of transactions. On the testnet this period will finish in 310 blocks.
Once this final test period completes, the mainnet roll out is scheduled.
Detailed discussion
On the ArtByte testnet the SegWit and CSV soft forks have been activated using BIP9, this allows us to make soft fork changes using version bits which allows miners to signal that they are ready to accept new rules by setting bits in the block header, this is technically a MASF (Miner Activated Soft Fork). Over 2,016 blocks the required 75% of blocks were mined with version bits for both soft forks. Now that we have successfully been through the activation period we are now locked in and await SegWit and CSV to be enforced in 310 blocks time. Once activated final tests will be performed and then mainnet roll out scheduled.

"Good altcoins" like ArtByte? How come not many people have heard about it. It is not even in the top 100 on coinmarketcap.com
Seems like a promotional thread to me.

ArtByte is not as well known because it is a niche coin that was created to support artists of all kinds. But it is a very good coin, with active development, launched in May 2014. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/ann-artbyte-the-cryptocurrency-for-the-arts-503131

Upgrading ArtByte to 0.13 gives ArtByte many advantages, including:
- Faster synchronization
Dynamic transaction fees
Priority transactions
Hierarchical Deterministic Key Generation
BIP65 Enforce OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY opcode
BIP68 Enforce sequence locks for relative locktime
BIP112 Enforce OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY
BIP113 Locktime enforcement soft fork
BIP130 Direct headers announcement
BIP152 Compact Block support
SegWit will add the following advantages to ArtByte:
- Elimination of unwanted transaction malleability
Capacity increase
Weighting data based on how it affects node performance
Signature covers value
Linear scaling of sighash operations
Increased security for multisig
More efficient almost-full-node security
Script versioning
And more.."
