I do think it ' s time for the community who support SegWit to start putting pressure on those responsible for holding it back . Unfortunately I feel it ' s necessary to point out there ' s no need to be inflammatory in the process just make your voice as a consumer or an advocate of bitcoin heard in a reasoned manner . So far all the blame for stalling bitcoin scaling has been directed towards Core , and now we have an update within reach that includes a scaling improvement and a host of other benefits . Today the same people who were most vocal in airing their scaling concerns in the past are the ones standing in the way of SegWit , and they risk further politicising a debate that should focus squarely on the technical and economic merits of the proposal . How best to do this , I don ' t know . A start would be to tweet the miners whose support you want to see , including the # segwit hashtag and your reason for wanting it implemented .
