Bitcoin hasn't solved the scaling problem. All these BIPs are just short term fixes which don't address the core problem. I opened a discussion thread on bitcointalk hoping to catch the attention of the core developers, but it seems they don't read that forum anymore.

- Torai 9y agoI'm tired of Bitcoin's useless drama.
- eternalban 9y agoUseless to you and me, but quite a lot of fortunes are riding on this ponzi scheme.

Wrong, SegWit (BIP 91 and 141) solves transaction malleability, which in itself will allow new layers (off-chain) to be built on top of the first layer (on-chain), which will allow orders of magnitude more throughput on number of payments per month.
- olegkikin 9y agoOff-chain is, by definition, not Bitcoin. Bitcoin itself is still very limited in throughput, and will remain so until the block size is increased.
- knocte 9y agoWrong. When you sign a transaction off-chain, you're signing a real bitcoin transaction, which you choose (or your software) to not broadcast to the network for convenience reasons (as you will likely sign more transactions later).
- h1d 9y agoCores and the rest have already discussed about scaling to death. Such a radical change cannot be simply applied to Bitcoin. You just explained what IOTA is. If you must get their attention, go to slack/IRC or start a reddit thread and if it collects much attention, cores will likely to read.
