@lightcoin Though I’m not entirely clear how it would work with extension blocks; presumably a new address type is required.

@lightcoin Though to be fair, you’re only trusting miners WRT to the new tx types. So if you don’t use them, you aren’t trusting miners.

@rogerkver Sunk Costs Fallacy requires that more resources must be expended to complete an ongoing project, but SegWit is already completed.

@iang_fc Right; one shouldn’t add complexity for the sake of adding complexity. It should be a trade-off in return for beneficial gains.

@britesense Yep, there are plenty of other issues also in play. 😬

@fersecchi It’s a more substantial change because now you’d have to keep track of 2 separate UTXO sets. Likely creates compatibility issues.

@mikevanrossum Exactly; I’ve seen far too many people treat is as a binary factor.

However, “we shouldn’t add feature X because it adds complexity” is a non-argument. Every feature adds complexity. https://t.co/kwAeRwJRGt

Given complexity of Extension Blocks, I’d expect at least as long for ecosystem to implement as SegWit: a year, give or take.

via Twitter Web Client

As such, an appropriate alternative name for Extension Blocks might be “Segregated Unspent Transaction Output Set” 😬 https://t.co/T4DlZlKcMb

Segregated Witness moves txn signatures outside of legacy block space. Extension Blocks move entire txn outside of legacy block space.
