Controversial scaling proposal Segwit2x tried to remedy this by joining two code change ideas - the code optimization Segregated Witness (SegWit) and a block size increase.

So, SegWit does not increase the block size limit, but it does enable a greater number of transactions within the 1 MB blocks.

At that point, SegWit will likely have more of an impact, increasing the block size to support more transactions and paving the way for more advanced scaling solutions like Lightning Network.

The SegWit2x Working Group has a specific charter, with a specific, openly stated goal: SegWit + 2M base block size increase.

Although the Bitcoin community has focused on an increase in the block size limit to increase transactional capacity, SegWit is able to achieve the same goal through alternative means.

nChain opposes SegWit and instead supports removing the Bitcoin blockchain's artificial block size limit (temporarily set at 1 MB) to fuel increased scalability.

Aside from increasing the block size to 8 MB and removing SegWit, Bitcoin Cash also awards people who own coins on the main bitcoin blockchain the same number of coins on the new Bitcoin Cash blockchain, effectively receiving a free dividend.

SegWit - SegWit is a soft fork that changed the rules of the transaction format used in the Bitcoin blockchain and increased the block size limit.

Meanwhile, while these proposals were being put forward and tested, a group of major Bitcoin miners who previously supported the SegWit2x proposal decided that deploying SegWit without increasing the block size would not be sustainable, as it would simply delay the scaling issue due to the size limit.

«SegWit» is an abbreviation for «segregated witness», which is the process whereby a blockchain's block size limit is increased by removing signature data from transactions.

Other respondents put forward the idea that even with SegWit, future increases to capacity (and possibly block size) would be needed.

At most, SegWit is a short - term supposed solution that will not create the velocity of use needed to drive up the market price of bitcoin to its highest potential, while SegWit2x will only modestly increase the block size to 2 MB.

Instead of making the block size bigger (as proposed by Bitcoin Unlimited), Segwit changes the way that transactions fit into the block, which in turn increases the transaction throughput capacity.

Bhardwaj referred to Segregated Witness (SegWit), a proposed soft - forking (backward compatible) change to Bitcoin that includes an increase in the effective block size limit to more than 2 MB (after users upgrade to SegWit - enabled wallets), as a «small to medium level increase in the network capacity.»
