Earlier today, Wang Chun, the possessor of F2Pool, the minute largest Bitcoin mining puddle inwards the world, clarified that he was never against the activation of Bitcoin Core’s Segregated Witness (SegWit) on Litecoin.
Chun stated:
“Please allow me create Charlie Lee a favor in addition to clarify: I was never against SegWit on Litecoin.”
Just a few hours later, Chun offered a completely opposing opinion on SegWit to his previous disceptation when he wrote:
What are Chun’s intent in addition to motive?
During an interview inwards February, Chun reaffirmed that F2Pool is pushing the activation of SegWit on Litecoin to detect its affect on overall scaling, on-chain capacity expansion in addition to providing an infrastructure for two-layer solutions. At the time, Chun planned to back upward SegWit on Bitcoin upon the activation of SegWit on Litecoin.
Since then, Chun has emphasized his opposition to the Bitcoin Unlimited software in addition to its team, due to multiple põrnikas exploitations in addition to the software’s instability. However, Chun has since expressed his concern over the Bitcoin Core evolution squad equally well.
In a rather conflicting statement, Chun wrote to Cointelegraph’s journalist:
“I've tried my best to beloved Core. But Core doesn't beloved me. Now I know Charlie Lee has a backup conception in addition to it is called UASF.”
Chun’s criticism of Bitcoin Core came equally a surprise to the Bitcoin community equally he previously explained that Greg Maxwell, a Bitcoin Core developer, helped brand his conclusion to back upward SegWit on Litecoin. It is highly probable that Maxwell introduced the benefits in addition to advantages of activating SegWit in addition to Chun agreed to detect the solution’s number on Litecoin prior to implementing it on the Bitcoin network.
Currently, Chun is non inwards back upward of SegWit on Bitcoin, Bitcoin Core in addition to Bitcoin Unlimited. He went equally far equally to encourage developers to let on an choice solution to SegWit since the bulk of miners are non willing to convey SegWit equally a scaling solution.
“If the bulk of the miners enjoin no to SegWit, developers must let on an choice solution,” Chun said.
User activated soft fork - UASF
Over the yesteryear week, a novel solution called Extension Blocks was introduced yesteryear Bitcoin startup Purse’s BCoin. However, the community doesn’t appear to move convinced equally of yet that Extension Blocks is the respond to Bitcoin scaling.
Based on the electrical flow trend, a user activated soft fork (UASF) is likely, considering that roughly of the largest businesses in addition to companies inside the Bitcoin manufacture already expressed their back upward toward UASF.
Throughout this month, Chun has changed his opinion on SegWit in addition to Bitcoin scaling inwards multiple occasions. On Apr 6, Chun stated that he decided to reconsider SegWit on Litecoin.
While Chun has been offering ambiguous statements to his followers in addition to to the Bitcoin community, it is withal probable that Chun volition alter his opinion on SegWit on Bitcoin if the solution is activated properly on Litecoin.
