Ok well some of that went straight above my head. However, i got some good points.

I read that a compromise is in the air....what is that?

Could somebody please post a link?

One I learned about the other day:  256 bit Bitcoin addresses in addition to the 160 bit addresses we have today.

You can about the reasoning here:

The actual details of the proposal are better found in BIP 173:

We are all concerned about the btc dispute.
I read that the Segregated witness had a host of other improvements to protocol.

Could anyone please tell me what other improvements these are?

Thanks
