Especially as they are struggling to put deposits down on their 1st house and also have been denied by the bank for loans to do renovation work due to deciding to be up to their eye balls in debt paying finance for fancy cars.

It's hard not to bring it up.

You're not paying their debts off? What kind of friend are you? Good lord.

I've paid off every single mortgage on here now.

I was laughed at by many of my friends when I was buying at $200.

It's very very hard now not to be as childish as my friends were back then.

So 100 more blocks until segwit is actually activated and then we will have effectively increased the blocksize to around 2MB right?

Not exactly - 100 blocks to official lock-in, then 2016 blocks before actual activation.

Thanks. Pretty confusing all this jargon. Every time you think you have a handle on it something else proves you wrong.
Love Meuh's Gif of the laptop being flung across the room lol.

It's like a shitty ARG - with a countdown that leads to another countdown...which leads to....another countdown Grin

Segwit is activated : http://segwit.co/

Miners can produce Segwit ~~Boobs~~ Blocks, now.

Block capacity/size increase

Since old nodes will only download the witness-stripped block, they only enforce the 1 MB block size limit rule on that data. New nodes, which understand the full block with witness data, are therefore free to replace this limit with a new one, allowing for larger block sizes.

Segregated witness therefore takes advantage of this opportunity to raise the block size limit to nearly 4 MB, and adds a new cost limit to ensure blocks remain balanced in their resource use (this effectively results in an effective limit closer to 1.6 to 2 MB).

No, it is locked in, meaning it will activate at the end of the next difficulty retargetting period (two weeks).

Is Segwit proceeding well, I as with many people only really hear the big news on this kind of protocol debate but obviously its important longer term.

Is 3600 a good price objective in line with Fibonacci pattern. I'm not sure I would fix it so certianly as bitcoin is obviously used in not just dollars but somewhere in that area perhaps

Yes mate this is a bit confusing right now, but i think that if we break the support at $3600 then it can go toward $3900 and make a retracement, lets just wait and see what happens with this, at the moment segwit didnt had any impact on the price. Lets see

So as Bitcoiners, do we have a right to be pissed if there are no immediate LN related launches?

I mean, the Core devs and the rest of the community have acted like these LN technologies and apps have been coded, tested, and sitting around ready to go for the better part of a year or two now. And preaching that the miners have been blocking these 'ready-to-go LN apps' for all this time.

If I don't see something around LN immediately launched after SegWit lock-in, I'm gonna get seriously irritated. Angry

Oh ... just give it oh ... 2 weeks?
