Yes you can increase the block size without segwit. Segwit is not a problem over here and it is technically possible to do anything to your block size.

Even to the current blockchain of BTC?

so can BTC have a 8mb block size without segwit?

if yes, then LOL. I FEEL BAD FOR PEOPLE WHO BELIEVED IN BCH! as bitcoin.

my point is, if Bcash threatens BTC (in case of LN failure which of course U doubt!) then the bloddy 1mb can be changed so Bcash becomes Btrash.

Of course it can, the real question you should ask yourself will it really change? You have to see bitcoin as a code, so when there are limits, most of them can be changed as we set the parameters - but again with changing something comes great responsibility and you have to take int consideration the overall health of the network. Will most of the people agree?

Not on the current chain.  Basically, Bitcoin has a set of consensus rules which people decide to follow.

You can choose to follow whatever consensus rules you like (such as a different block size or block time) but if you loosen the rules for accepting a block (such as having a larger block size), it causes a hard fork.  So basically unless you get most Bitcoin users to support your new consensus rules, your new chain will be regarded as an altcoin, such as Bitcoin Cash.

The reference client at the moment is called Bitcoin Core, and the Bitcoin Core developers don't support a larger block size while Bitcoin Cash supporters do, which is why they decided to fork off to their own chain.  Bitcoin Core have concerns about the effect of changing the block size, which is why they proposed SegWit as an alternative solution.

Guys we dont need just the blocksize. What we need is the scalling. Blocksize is useless if we have a huge buy and sell in Bitcoin. Scalling is the Bitcoin feature that could solve cluttered and pending transactions.

Hi All,

We know that BTC core developers took a different path to approach scalability by implanting Segwit & LN UNLIKE BCH which simply increased blocksize to 8mb.


I'm just wondering if it is technically possible to increase the block size of BTC without segwit, just like what BCH did? is that possible from technical point of view?

I am a believer in the LN technology and I think it's the best way to scale bitcoin rather than simply increase BTC block size and risk decentralization for the network.

Cheeers!

I dont realy understand why this people working in bitcoin spending there time to devate and argue then make some alternative coins from bitcoin. Why dont they just simply take a vote and if ever who is the majority of with in favor wins the vote and they will all work together as a team for a better bitcoins in the future instead of devate and argue why just help each other.

Hello dimasinteger,

It would be possible to implement a bigger blocksize in the future, however it would require another fork in the bitcoin blockchain or global acceptance of the change proposed. There was already a big divide in the bitcoin community on this topic: On one side people thought that increasing the blocksize would solve scalability problems bitcoin was running into. On the side there were people who thought that increasing the blocksize was only a temporary solution to a much bigger scaling problem and there were better solutions to fix the scalability problems. These people were more interested in SegWit and the implimentation of the Lightning Network. Due to this divide the fork occured that created bitcoin cash.

You can find the link to an interesting article on the topic here.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to send us a DM.

With kind regards,
The Anycoin Direct team

Yes.

And if this answer is too short  Grin,yes you can do anything to the block size or block time.
Segwit is not a problem, you can still increase the blocks to 100M or 1TB or reduce the blocktime to 10 seconds.
One of the myriad of forks has implemented both segwit and 8 MB blocks but I'm nuot sure...I think BTX..

I agree 100% with your belief. BTC will very soon prove that the issue is not about the block size at all. It is all about HOW the transaction is carried out. Lightening Network will soon prove that BTC is still the queen of cryptos.

The BCH developers increased the blocksize to 8mb. The BCH community pretty much dislikes the concept of Segwit hence they forked legacy bitcoin in to a separate cryptocurrency(BCH). So yes, raising the blocksize doesn't need segwit as the BCH community obviously achieved this.
