Since the beginning of the development of Segregated Witness, an increasing number of alternative Bitcoin hard fork supporters have criticized the implementation process
of soft forks on Bitcoin Core, claiming that Core developers have a complete monopoly over the process.

Earlier this week, a blog post entitled Segregated Witness's
soft fork and a vote
of no confidence by the software engineer Steve Sokolowski climbed to the front page
of the popular online bitcoin community Reddit BTC (/ r / BTC), which entailed numerous inaccuracies in regards to the impact
of the Segregated Witness
on bitcoin users, businesses, and miners.
By April
of 2017, this attitude led Litecoin creator Charlie Lee to advocate for a user activated
soft fork on «his» coin.
The proposed
soft fork replaces Bitcoin's block size limit with a block «weight» limit, which offers an effective block size limit increase
of about 0.7 to 1.0 megabyte, depending
on the types
of transactions included in a block.
The Segregated Witness (SegWit)
soft fork has activated
on the Bitcoin network.As
of block height 481,824, found at 1:57 UTC by BTCC, all SegWit ready nodes started enforcing the new SegWit consensus rules.
As a proposed
soft fork per the requirement established by Bitcoin Core, Segregated Witness will require support from 95 percent
of all hash power
on the network to activate.
Data provided by Etherchain.org indicates that many mining pools (groups that consolidate hashing power to increase their chances
of mining the next block) have made the change, and if this trend continues, the
soft fork is expected to take hold
on 30th June.
The patch works by giving miners the opportunity to flag that they support the
soft fork, and then use their clients to lower a metric called the «block gas limit», which puts a cap
on the amount
of gas (an element
of ethereum transactions) that can be included in a block.
Even in the face
of our «Government
Soft Fork Uncertainty», we continue choose to not be distracted and focus
on growth.
Although progress has been made
on the simplicity
of soft fork deployments, hard
forks are still hard.
Bitcoin developers are working
on a mechanism called «versionbits» that would allow
soft -
forks to be implemented simultaneously and independently
of each other.
As mentioned in previous issues
of the Weekly Broadcast, the Bitcoin Core developers are currently working
on a «
soft -
fork» proposal to implement a technique called Segregated Witness, which solves a number
of challenges with the Bitcoin protocol.
The key - points
of discussion included: · Block - size increase requirements · Bitcoin Core team and the «
soft fork» / SegWit proposal · Bitcoin Classic and the «hard -
fork» & risks · Transparency
on financing
of developers · Developers governance · BIP process consensus
This
soft fork limited the potential upside
of using the covert application
of AsicBoost, and it is clear that no one ever used the overt version
of AsicBoost
on Bitcoin's mainnet.
During his discussion with co-hosts Adam B. Levine and Andreas Antonopoulos, Pair shared his thoughts
on the potential
of Bitcoin without any further protocol changes, the issues he sees with Bitcoin Unlimited, and user - activated
soft forks.
It's a mechanism where the activation time
of a
soft fork occurs
on a specified date enforced by full nodes, a concept sometimes referred to as the economic majority.
«While [the paper is] short
on the details, the overall idea
of adding new functionality without incurring the risks and complication
of either a
soft or a hard
fork is quite compelling,» Sirer told CoinDesk.
The other tradeoff is that the method allows a small number
of hash power to veto activation
of the
soft fork for everyone
on the network.
In the case
of a
soft fork, old nodes
on the network will still recognise the new blocks as valid.
Bitcoin and the new Bitcoin Cash — After the
soft fork of Bitcoin
on 1 August, and the hard
fork which ensued creating a new crypto called Bitcoin Cash, the markets showed support
of Bitcoin as the price remained stable.
However, if the majority
of the community does not support the decision (for example, users will continue mining
on the old chain in spite
of both pools supporting the
soft fork), then it will not be followed.
On June 14, Bitmain released an official blog post entitled «A contingency plan against UASF,» which laid out the company's plan to force the execution
of a hard
fork with Segwit activates through a user - activated
soft fork (UASF).
On Aug. 1, 2017, the SegWit
soft fork was deployed, which was aimed at tackling the scalability
of the Bitcoin protocol, and offered several core advantages.
At an emergency meeting
of the Ethereum Foundation members, it was proposed to implement successive
soft and hard
forks to deal with the consequence
of the cyberattack
on the investment platform today, the project's blog reports.
A voting is ongoing started by Ethereum developers whether a
soft fork should be implemented to fix the consequences
of the recent hacker attack
on The DAO.
Segregated Witness, or SegWit, is the name used for an implemented
soft fork change in the transaction format
of the cryptocurrency Bitcoin which has also been implemented
on currencies such as Litecoin, DigiByte and Vertcoin.
But that isn't the only surprise he has for the crypto market; in a series
of tweets recently posted
on his official twitter account, Lee appears to be making a proposal for the
soft forking of the Litecoin network.
Hard
forks and
soft forks do virtually the same thing, so Bitcoin Core argues that
soft forks are to be preferred as they do not cause the amount
of harm
on the Bitcoin network as a hard
fork can potentially do since users can choose to upgrade to new features when they want to, or remain or the current Bitcoin core version that they are
on.
After a long struggle, the Segregated Witness
soft fork finally activated in the summer
of 2017, paving the way for the Lightning Network
on Bitcoin as well.
A
soft fork upgrade to realize relative timelocks, called CheckSequenceVerify (CSV), was activated
on the Bitcoin network by the summer
of 2016.
published in the first week
of 2017, Lee explained that this potential to create these kinds
of «bridges» between cryptocurrencies made him throw his weight behind the Segregated Witness (SegWit)
soft forks on both Litecoin and Bitcoin.

of cryptocurrency like Bitcoin as well as it implemented
on Litecoin, Digibyte, Vertcoin.
The Ciphrex CEO added that there was nothing like miner signaling in the original version
of Bitcoin, and Satoshi Nakamoto never used miner signaling for the
soft forks that he deployed
on the network.
Lombrozo also noted that, in the past,
soft forks have been deployed
on Bitcoin without any special treatment for miners, and BIP 9 was supposed to solve some
of the issues miners could face during the deployment
of a
soft fork.
In order to activate Lightning in the bitcoin ecosystem, SegWit had to be activated via a User Activated
Soft Fork (UASF) which required more than 90 %
of the network to agree
on the protocol upgrade.
Since the attacker is still unknown, Karapetsas believes that, regardless
of what the decision
on the hard or
soft forks would be, it is important «to identify each and every single one
of the other split voters who have voted «yes» in Prop # 78 and Prop # 99.»
