If they’re right, it additionally agency the advance will set the date for the Lightning Network — allowance Bitcoin get accomplished issues with scalability. Additionally, It will do so in a way that Zander thinks SegWit can’t — article he has talked about before in the past.

Development Continues As Blocks Grow in Size

Along with Transflex, the amend includes the accession of extra-thin blocks (Xthin blocks). This affection reportedly solves delays in Bitcoin block propagation.

For at atomic two years, the association has begin itself in altercation over what to do about the block size. Presently, Bitcoin blocks accept a absolute of 1 MB, akin the absolute cardinal of affairs the arrangement can handle. The agitation has led to the accumulation of two camps.

The big block band wants on-chain solutions, in the anatomy of agreement changes to acquiesce bigger blocks. The added ancillary prefers off-chain or side-chain solution, which would abstain bifurcation the blcokchain.

Bitcoin.com will abide to chase Bitcoin development as the association searches for an acceptable band-aid to the advancing scalability problem.
