But, that's exactly what happened with segwit. Why is that worth doing but increasing the block size is not?
- Ajedi32 9y agoIf I recall correctly, Segwit was a prerequisite to Lightning. A block size increase is not.
- SuddsMcDuff 9y agoYou recall incorrectly. A malleability fix was a prerequisite to Lightning. SegWit is just one of many possible malleability fixes.
- Ajedi32 9y agoWere there any other serious proposals for fixing transaction malleability without Segwit?
- eklitzke 9y agoThe main thing Segwit fixes is transaction malleability (which is necessary for Lightning).
