This is interesting but I've enjoyed the Classic REKT threads much more
Then go pay them a visit.

Very good graphics and easy to understand,   one thing i dont get is this Libsecp256k1  how can we verify transactions and blocks faster?  would that not mean a shorter blocktime?
They have created their own code for doing the ECDSA stuff (rather than using OpenSSL) and apparently it works a lot faster (not surprising perhaps as OpenSSL has not worked out so well as a project and some of the reasons for that are also political).
The block time is not affected, the validation time becomes much faster. This only concerns you if you are running a full node. It is actually a very good achievement.

I have to say that this roadmap is pretty awesome ! The messy house argument is the best that could be found about the blocksize debate Wink. Who's the author of this nice picture(s) ?
It is stated at the end: "u/Cryptoconomy".

A really good visualization of core's roadmap.Thank you for that. Regardig SegWit this house organization analogy is just awesome. Simple and easy to understand.
That was the point of it; explaining in a simple yet correct way.

Here it is again: Smaller Transactions > Bigger Blocks
This makes better use of the space available.
Remember, more transactions is what we want, big blocks is not the only way to achieve it. And it's also the worst way.
Correct. Scaling via the block size is very inefficient.


Indicative of the levels of cynicism and maturity (not to mention desperation) employed by the blockchain-bloaters: knight22 only really came into the thread so he could run home to bitcoin.com crying "they censored me, nasty fat hobbits with their censoring". Kind of pathetic really, I always thought the ringwraiths were supposed to be badasses  Cheesy
He knew what was going to happen if he posted FUD (e.g. Bitcoin is "broken"). According to their deluded minds, 'moderation' is an abstract concept that has left the plain of existence when moment Bitcoin XT released.  Roll Eyes

The thread is not being censored, it is being moderated. I'm deleting what I dislike, and that is propaganda and FUD. I'm most likely going to create another update post and remove the majority of the posts in this to keep it clean. You're welcome.

A hell of an infographic! Well done at least we finally have something to discuss on, I mean real points to be discussed not just thin air.
And, above all yes, this is about changing the world guys, not being a paypal alternative.

i'm starting to believe that the guy with seg wit, actually don't want to increase the limit at all, since they are for the blockstream thing and the lightining network/the sidechain etc...
Wrong. Don't post nonsense. Lightning is open source and will be free to use. The LN has nothing to do with sidechains.

SegWit correction: a full node will still store the signatures.
Added to OP. Thanks.

I also found it to be too technical, but loved it anyway.
Reading this kind of thing give me the chills! It's so exciting to see the potential of this technology!
I don't think it is too technical though. This should help people that aren't good with technology.

I think this is a nicely put together visualisation (my only criticism is that it may have actually erred slightly on the side of being too technical but I guess that depends upon the target audience).

For those that are 'out of the loop' and need a simpler explanation of the roadmap. Keep in mind that this is obviously simplified so don't complain how it doesn't explain every single scenario and detail.
SegWit correction: a full node will still store the signatures.


Notice: The majority of posts will be deleted to keep the thread clean. I will try to reply to every single poster. If someone wants to engage in a rational and technical discussion then those posts shall be left in the thread. Trolling and posts made by people on my ignore list will be deleted.
