After reading some comments here I realized that, in short, we had a network upgrade which on its own hasn't done anything special.
We still would need to upgrade our online infrastructure, wallets, services - basically everything to feel the upgrade.
People who expected instant and amazing betterment must be disappointed by the whole complication... I still didn't upgrade my wallet either...

Maybe the wallet that you're using to send transaction from is not yet supporting SegWit, so you're still experiencing the normal transaction. Probably sometime next week, services will actually be integrating SegWit ready transactions. It really depends on the service that you're using.
Roger Ver+Jihad is spamming the network heavily after segwit activation as the smart users predicted, actually very predictable. Now he is doing astroturfing everywhere, including thi forum. "See, segwit didn't work, we need a blocksize increase!"
billy change the record
bitcoin cash is a separate network. you might aswell be trying to say that 42coin is a threat to bitcoin... wake up
as for who is spamming, its like the last 2 years its the bscartel (blockstream +silbert) that want to convert people to segwit by making people think its beneficial to move over ASAP by using fear and panic as always.. again wake up
if you want to be rational. realise the ultimate truth. until the major merchant shopping cart services flip to a different network, there is no fear. and at the moment coinbase merchant tools has more chance of flipping to litecoin than it does to any other coin. so start making people aware of litecoin as the threat... again wake up
It wasn't a joke mate, the chain is modified and developed a lot and still it is developing but it will take some time. The rapid growth of price after segWit is shows that it works although it need some more time to make it more better. Don't be a pessimist, hope for the positive results and wait for it.
Just be patient, we are in a transition state. The activation is just a first step of numerous steps. An initial process where the actual solution to the scaling will be implemented. We can think of Segwit Activation being the foundation to enable other development to happen in Bitcoin System. So we just need to bear with it for a meantime together with those people who are spamming the network. They will get tired of it, I am sure.
Well we have to just wait and see, since it is still fresh and maybe most miners are still adjusting to it. Actually there are still reports of delayed transactions and slow confirmations. Let us just be patient, and possibly we see changes these days.
Hello guys, I really don't understand all the "excitement" about that SegWit thing. It already activated couple of days ago and still nothing - too many unconfirmed transactions, fees are very high, block sizes are still under 1 MB, and slow confirmations. Where is the promised lightning network? When (if at all) the current situation will change?

They want to push the SegWit2x dogshit in order to crash the BTC price so BCC can benefit. Don't fall for it. Pay the fucking fees or wait for the Roger Ver+Jihad Wu spam to cease.
Oh my God! In this case, Roger+Jihad are VERY bad people! We mustn't let them win here!
Roger+Jihad - PLEASE STOP! STOP SPAMMING! PLEASE!!!

and now people are realising the activation is meaningless
to get 2.1mb of real economic average base blocksize nearly everyone needs to move their funds over to segwit based transaction keypairs..
8 years ago it was possibly to have 7tx/s if near everyone decided to do lean transactions.. yet in 8 years it has not been seen.
same will happen now. its near impossible for near everyone to be using segwit based transactions. so dont expect the 7tx/s anytime soon or regularly.
segwit does NOT stop spam
segwit does NOT stop quadratics
segwit does NOT stop bloated tx's
all segwit does is offer innocent people to disarm themselves. but does not stop malicious people from continuing to do what they do.
segwit has been an over promised under delivered empty gesture that has wasted 2 years of innovation.
people are now starting to wake up to it and wishing proper rules and proper universal growth was the route to take
what the activation has done was to change the topology of the network is now set. with the cartels nodes at the top and the cludge of other nodes at the bottom.

I really hope so.

I just hate it when I see such a huge load on the bitcoin network. I really hope that the unconfirmed transactions & fees will decrease a lot soon, and situation will at least return to what it was few weeks ago. Spammers - please stop!
It's just the first week and the foundation has only been laid out. From this point on is the growth, development and fine-tuning of the real applied technology.
I don't see how what's happening can be surprising, it will take time before it's easy to start using SegWit to its fullest and it will take time for people to start actually using it. Like they say, Rome wasn't built in a day. And there's still that part of the community who are probably active users and will still refuse to use SegWit...

I am equally still waiting for the same time when we begin to reap the benefit of all this SegWit activation and all the hypes that came with it. Maybe in the coming days we will be able to to start getting it.
SegWit activation was most certainly not a joke and it is very disingenuous to suggest otherwise.
Why do you say segwit is a joke ?? Segwit also takes time and can't directly as you expect, and segwit still unfinished by end of november is over. . We follow aja process and don't think badly before it all ends.

I think segwit is not yet fully active, because if viewed from the project roadmap, segwit will be fully active by the end of this year Hello guys, I really don't understand all the "excitement" about that SegWit thing.

Well, some say it is because of the bitcoin Cash. SInce bitcoin cash is getting easier to mine, the miners are shifting from Bitcoin to Bitcoin Cash and making the confirmations delayed. The block is not the problem but the miners who are confirming it.
I think it takes time for it to develop a much faster transaction or smooth transaction, it just doesn't happen overnight. And I don't think it has to do with bitcoin cash too, just give it some leeway to make the devs work on the project and soon it'll be faster.
I think seg wit is a good think but I also think we have to give it time. Not everything can instantly work as its supposed to. We also can't forget that bitcoin is very new compared to other currencies so it's essential that we give it time to grow and not rush things.
