SegWit made it possible to store transactional data in a more compact form while maintaining backwards compatibility. However, a group of users had different opinions on how Bitcoin should evolve and developed a hard fork of the Bitcoin blockchain titled Bitcoin Cash. Rather than implementing the SegWit changes, the developers of Bitcoin Cash decided to simply increase the blocksize. When the hard fork occurred, people had access to the same amount of coins on Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash. > > _______________________________________________ > bitcoin-dev mailing list > bitcoin-dev@lists.linuxfoundation.org > https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev > This is much better than the original. My question, the part where it says segwit makes transactions more compact, I thought that transactions are not more compact but rather they just take advantage of extra blockspace beyond that of 1 MB? Yes they would appear to be more compact to un-upgraded nodes due to the witness being stripped, but the transactions are not actually more compact right? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIcBAEBCgAGBQJab+afAAoJEAYDai9lH2mwCDAP/RRpExXmnPzlvxuhhJ+8gSlc QRZHVa0nJ2SETTZnQSa+0t8dBO9ROYSnDHuMEqz/ba8o00Rce8icxQvCGOO29OSK Cru7/UJzYTwnt5mK2ljpUB1Fsx96fAPxfg4QMeDCRe+O5LLkH1als1GGVOwlFnLu BAV0MoCljWzBxokf0ax8+ZHHYEaKe+Fj9PKby7CZrqQKoL9PkI/n7EvqICUdTCu5 tAz9SNIBVtUxgGx/ZY96hvBx0zorV1IQEWchQ50oh/V+TgmnOW4njQOKc4TcSgfp TKpRFs8Zd7TzeIS/85GX0APGypchxdjlBaV0EORTO9GYFo7nKlzHkIGOF9Er+E6q II4qjbKLc5d/wwCIA8MHFW0Vxwv2+0ztApaWAFW42+LeHERaPCzi4NEy5quqvmsE IiTaGebl2XbTd0I+aB6WWsScTUmfXrt+NL05kwE0KDylY/mSwYMgYjP95X1Mci7X rcJRf6/pP607EiHlq3MmDlyt4TrYBp9FVVjdjvM+sD8wz72FhWeYJQdyF8t1ToOD U/ItNsxl5Jx9JvCkBXoX+6MMZ91W7D2x04Ur3OMRmy/lOoztOYAdlKy0tMyRqfCi L81apfjvmTaR2OTWhCawgZGLXGJcfOG5ECuXC90B6il5Jsts/XwyFMN2Fa1iZB50 cZwF3ySKxoVtpsf/vTW7 =feRa -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
