TWIST - Not sure if Segwit activated yet or if it will be anytime soon but devs said it’s part of their internal roadmap.

TWIST is 250k market cap on Cryptopia. New exchange coming soon.

Great little project, devs really going for real world adoption via simple use cases.

100 bagger only takes it to $25 cap.

Segregated Witness and CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY forks now locked_in, they have reached the required activation threshold and both will become active in roughly two weeks time.

Thanks - this is the first post about a new "Segwit coin" that follows the rules I specified in the OP, so it's being added extra fast to the list Smiley

Decred is built by the guys who wrote BTC suite, btcd daemon and tools, the golang implementation for bitcoin that one one of the lightning implementations relies on, lnd I think. They don't have Segwit, but they have a malleability fix in place since launch, and have or will shortly have lightning working on their network. See top comment here:
I'm following Decred - not very closely, but I check their state every month or so. When they begin with LN mainnet testing, I will add it to the LN section of the list. If they have already begun and you know a source, then I'll be glad to add it soon - the last news I read was "maybe in Q1 2018".

Also, I would say Bitcoin shouldn't be mentioned based on the fact that the thread title specifies altcoin, which BTC clearly is not.
I do want to include Bitcoin because one of the goals of this thread is to compare its status with that of other cryptocurrencies. You're right about the title being wrong then - so I changed it.

Just a question though: Why not include Bitcoin on the Lightning Network (mainnet testing) list?
Isn't Blockstream testing on the mainnet as well?
You are totally right, I just have added BTC. It's not only Blockstream, there are enthusiasts of different groups as well. It is however still not recommended for everyday use and there seem to be still security problems which made some of the testers lose money.

Komodo KMD : Not like a BTC LN
Both seem to be in early planning stages and at last Decred - which is a major rewrite of Bitcoin's code - would probably use other means than Segwit to achieve the necessary malleability fix for LN. So for now, I'll not add them.

Komodo itself also seems to not plan to use Segwit, only its platform's "sub-currency" Chips.

Just saw this post now, and I had no idea about all those coins that already had segwit and were working on off-chain scalability solutions like the lightning network. I new about litecoin of course, since it kind of serves like a test bed for bitcoin, and got segwit activated a long time before bitcoin, but I definitely didn't knew about all the others.

It was curious to see that Eclair was working on lightning for other coins, since I believe they are also one of the teams that are developing lightning network on BTC as well.

Will Komodo be Lightning Network compatible?

Our variation of Lightning Network technology, CHIPS, is in active development.

When finished, CHIPS will provide similar micropayment channels and features, comparable to Bitcoin's proposed Lightning Network.

isn't dogecoin segwit / LN compatible (if updated). Is it any process to include it?

Segwit transaction is really cheap and fast. Litecoin etal have implemented segwit and you can also make segwit transaction on bitcoin if the address you are sending from is segwit. I believe segwit and LN will make bitcoin scale better when they are implemented.
