This is already not true - if I interpret blockchain.info's statistics right, so far, we had four blocks with more than 1 MB (these need to include Segwit transactions), three of them mined today:
- block 481947 (1,032119 MB)
- block 482152 (1,00003 MB)
- block 482187 (1,00003 MB)
- block 482191 (1,00001 MB)
So things are moving slowly, but they are moving.
Maybe segwit is not yet fully active? - block 481947 (1,032119 MB)
- block 482152 (1,00003 MB)
- block 482187 (1,00003 MB)
- block 482191 (1,00001 MB)
So things are moving slowly, but they are moving.
It is fully active. It is just broken. It doesn't do what they said it would do. They told everyone it was part of a scaling solution. Obviously that is incorrect.
Its not broken, its working as intended, perhaps you just don't understand it properly.
Full benefits will be realised when people actually start sending to and from a segwit address.
However if the spam keeps up, the transaction fees may not drop, but this would be a problem on any chain.
Its worth noting that no other chain (except maybe ETH) has needed to consider scaling.
None of the funky solutions in some alt coins have ever been testing under real game theory conditions.
As BCH is discovering with its EDA mess.
