Syscoin activated with hardfork not softfork.
Digibyte is testing SegWit signalling before wallet release.
Viacoin is testing SegWit signalling before wallet release.
Litecoin signalling increased.
Bitcoin signalling increased.

Segwit is the future
That's true. Without any opposing segwit will serve as the future case activation for most of the altcoins. Now it has gained strength than the conteginous split of chained structure​d frame. This are the coins that are​going to pump and provide wealth to its adopters.

OP should update this list. Litecoin has more than 53% now. I think it's not going to be enough with f2pool, it only needs a couple pools more to activate, since the activation it's at 75%.

Segwit is the future
It was a non contentious fork related to a mandatory protocol upgrade for an unrelated issue. Segwit was already active prior to the upgrade

Thank you for the clarification!
Can you tell us more about the non contentious fork? (ELI5 what happend and how did you fix it?)
Also when was Segwit activated? Are you the first altcoin that activated it?

Updated Vertcoin - after the bug was resolved, signalling is going pretty well and actually about 50%. So probably we'll soon have the second "segwitcoin".

SegWit will be the largest thing in 2017, most bitcoiners suffer huge desperation due to unconfirmed transactions when they transfer bitcoin in recent months, SegWit is imminent to be done in bitcoin to save the slow confirmation. BU makes hardfork and coinbase&bitfinex will seem BU bitcoin for an altcoin. IMO SegWit will be finally integrated into Bitcoin.

Updated Litecoin and bumping, as support is now at ~30% and higher than in Bitcoin at ~20-25%. (30 % seem to have been a short spike as the new activation period is still fresh).

Litecoin SegWit support increasing

Charlie Lee is extremely excited to have it Activated


Probably be the only one, as far as I can see the number of transactions does not compare to BTC, so I think it is not so urgent for the most, however still must be good news for the LTC holders, the knowledge that has active developers yet.

I think we will see it before bitcoin, but as mentioned before, it doesn't really prove anything if it happens in litecoin.

We need it on bitcoin, segwit on litecoin is cool but is just anecdotal, we need the real deal in the capital B blockchain.

Did Litecoin really nees segwit or its a test for its big brother BTC ?
You can even have a solid argument for Litecoins but other coins you ask yourself why do they even need SeqWit, some don't even have a daily trade volume of $1000, so why do you want to implement SeqWit

for all of them pure simple hype, thats the only reason it has been implemented, litecoin also
Although there is disintegration seen in upgrades for Bitcoin miners, the proposal to use SegWit in litecoin benefits and the aim is for the market as an alternative to Bitcoin litecoin in key markets.
litecoin deployment to SegWit can make increases in value due utilities and this can make the miners back their positions.

The danger of all of this is the fact that if something goes wrong in the implementation of segwit on those coins, the segwit hatters will use it to throw even more hate on segwit's bitcoin implementation. But segwit for bitcoin is different and more secure, as explained by gmaxwell in reddit.

This should really be a test of segwit on ltc though non of the known altcoins experience transaction  malleability and will not be feasible for bitcoin to adopt it at the moment.

Litecoin already allows transactions four times faster than Bitcoin, which means they are not facing the blocksize issue that Bitcoin is facing at moment. But SegWit allows a number of things, one of which is the use of lightning network, which for many is a great solution for users who want faster transactions. Also, from the information I saw on reddit, in fact segwit allows problems related to malleability to be solved.

Crypto for the Crypto Throne!

Segwit also fixes the transaction malleability problem and makes advanced functions like Atomic cross-chain trading and payment channels with instant payments (Lightning Network) way easier to implement. So in my opinion, it's a step towards the future of cryptocurrency.


As i know, transaction malleability problem was fixed after BIP66 at 2015.
Segwit it's just one of the ways which trying to solve one of the hardest bitcoin problem - scaling (and some others little problems). Another way it's hardfork with block increasing.
a hard fork for bitcoin is no good idea it will end like ethereum with 2 coins and if not all devs are on the hard fork side that new chain will have a volume like alts. to have segwit on alts now seems like a testnet for bitcoin.

Hmm, maybe i will agree with that statement. Hard fork needs really homogeneous community opinion (about some problem). And in problem of bitcoin scaling we don't have that thing. Maybe softfork will be more relevant here.

Updated as Vertcoin has released now the new version containing Segwit and will start signalling soon.

@sidhujag: Are miners in syscoin already able to signal Segwit support? As it's a merged-mined coin, adoption could be dependant of Bitcoin's, or not?

If there are news from other coins ... please post Wink
Yes but they just need to signal blocks in bitcoin do not.need to have segwit version... aslong.as they are signalling its fine
