Bitcoin News: Segregated Witnesses

Segregated Witnesses (also known as Segwit for short) are coming, as Bitcoin core made clear through a recent blog post. This addition to Bitcoin will be done in an extremely cautious way, as the next 0.13.0 update will include the code for the Segregated Witnesses, but it will not be activated until version 0.13.1. This will make testing other features on top of Segwit much easier for developers. Segregated Witnesses have already been activated on the testnet, where users and developers can also test features on. The 0.13.0 update is also expected to include code for other updates like fee filtering and compact block relay.
