Many fascinating\n\u003e proposals were presented. I think this would be a good time to share my\n\u003e view of the near term arc for capacity increases in the Bitcoin system. I\n\u003e believe we’re in a fantastic place right now and that the community\n\u003e is ready to deliver on a clear forward path with a shared vision that\n\u003e addresses the needs of the system while upholding its values.\n\nThanks for writing this up. Putting the progress, ongoing work and plans related\nto scaling in context, in one place, was badly needed.\n\n\u003e TL;DR:  I propose we work immediately towards the segwit 4MB block\n\u003e soft-fork which increases capacity and scalability, and recent speedups\n\u003e and incoming relay improvements make segwit a reasonable risk. BIP9\n\u003e and segwit will also make further improvements easier and faster to\n\u003e deploy. We’ll continue to set the stage for non-bandwidth-increase-based\n\u003e scaling, while building additional tools that would make bandwidth\n\u003e increases safer long term. Further work will prepare Bitcoin for further\n\u003e increases, which will become possible when justified, while also providing\n\u003e the groundwork to make them justifiable.\n\nSounds good to me.\n\nThere are multiple ways to get involved in ongoing work, where the community\ncan help to make this happen sooner:\n\n- Review the versionbits BIP https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0009.mediawiki:\n\n  - Compare and test with implementation: https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6816\n\n- Review CSV BIPs (BIP68 https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0068.mediawiki / \n       BIP112 https://github.com/bitcoin/bips/blob/master/bip-0112.mediawiki),\n\n  - Compare and test implementation: \n\n    https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6564  BIP-112: Mempool-only CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY\n    https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/6312  BIP-68: Mempool-only sequence number constraint verification \n    https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/pull/7184  [WIP] Implement SequenceLocks functions for BIP 68\n\n- Segwit BIP is being written, but has not yet been published.\n\n  - Gregory linked to an implementation but as he mentions it is not completely\n    finished yet. ETA for a Segwit testnet is later this month, then you can test as well.\n\nWladimir"}
