"SegWit and CSV are now fully enabled on the ArtByte testnet! Up next is final testing on the new client and mining pool.
Then enabling SegWit on the live network."
As ArtByte announced on June 10th, we are implementing SegWit on the ArtByte blockchain.
Our developers have been hard at work, and now ArtByte 0.13, including SegWit is successfully running on the test net.
Upgrading ArtByte to 0.13 gives ArtByte many advantages, including:
Faster synchronization
Dynamic transaction fees
Priority transactions
Hierarchical Deterministic Key Generation
BIP65 Enforce OP_CHECKLOCKTIMEVERIFY opcode
BIP68 Enforce sequence locks for relative locktime
BIP112 Enforce OP_CHECKSEQUENCEVERIFY
BIP113 Locktime enforcement soft fork
BIP130 Direct headers announcement
BIP152 Compact Block support
SegWit will add the following advantages to ArtByte:
Elimination of unwanted transaction malleability
Capacity increase
Weighting data based on how it affects node performance
Signature covers value
Linear scaling of sighash operations
Increased security for multisig
More efficient almost-full-node security
Script versioning
And more..
