@btcguy_ Invalid segwit spends is possible same as invalid p2sh spends are possible. Good incentive for miners to not create invalid blocks.

via Twitter Web Client in reply to lopp

@btcguy_ Network split highly unlikely because mainnet has orders of magnitude more nodes - better connected network mesh.

@btcguy_ It could have been a network partition or it could have been someone creating blocks w/invalid segwit spends. My bet is on former.
