Miner source: SegWit to happen before September

A great news is just awaiting for all Bitcoin lovers including me. As I'm currently holding over 1K BTC, everyday mempool lagging depresses me about Bitcoin's success & gives me tension a lot. Bitcoin has a very bright future which is now being spoiled by its own popularity. Everyday thousands of transactions are being unconfirmed for almost over 72 hours. Yes, block scaling issue is the great problem for Bitcoin's success of all the time.
Today I just found the news on Cointelegraph & feel excited --

Bitcoin Miners Agree in NY on SegWit Activation "Before September": Sources

Yesterday, on May 21 all major Bitcoin miners have arranged a meeting where they have reached an  agreement to go for SegWit activation. This meeting was held in the city of New York. It's an undoubtedly a very good start to the important Consensus conference that united important  movers and shakers of the crypto industry. 
Currently blocks supported by major miners are shown as below on coindance --
SegWit : 34%
Bitcoin Unlimited : 40%
And Nodes run on --
Bitcoin Core (SegWit) : 85%
Bitcoin Unlimited : 9%

Global Bitcoin Political Support & Public Opinion

SegWit : 86%
Bitcoin Unlimited : 26%
It's clear that majority of the Bitcoin users, supporters & investors want to activate SegWit, but, some big Chinese miners i.e. Antpool, ViaBTC, BTC.top, Canoe, GBMiners etc. are against SegWit.
Recently, Litecoin successfully activated SegWit & price has risen from $4 to $30. So, if SegWit activated on Bitcoin then not only the transactions will be faster confirmed but also price will get a big jump.
And, as the other alternative option Bitcoin Unlimited is buggy and is not safe to run Bitcoin network on it, we only have one option SegWit Activation.
According to  Charlie Shrem’s messages  in the Whalepoolbtc Telegram chat -
“When I have all the details I will tell you, it's still  all being processed,” Shrem wrote, adding that he was “bullish” and  confirming the news was to do with SegWit. 
I think these two message state that there was “big news” coming from the Consensus conference.
Shrem’s optimism relates to a group of Bitcoin businesses, which  together with at least Jihan Wu and Barry Silbert, allegedly agreed to  enable SegWit “in September 2017.” 
According to entrepreneur Alistair Milne, a meeting organized by Silbert  at Consensus produced what “may conclude the Bitcoin scaling debate  (for now).” 
A news from an anonymous source is that "SegWit activation will occur before that date".  Core developer Luke-jr  has already confirmed that the implementation date would in September this year.

Newslink: Zimbabwe Unleashes New Dollar-Pegged Currency, Should Switch to Bitcoin Instead

Zimbabwe Unleashes New Dollar-Pegged Currency, Should Switch to Bitcoin Instead image credit Zimbabwe has begun printing bond notes, allegedly pegged to the US dollar, as a means to curb inflation, as other countries turn to Bitcoin. In a resurrection of the African country’s currency not seen in seven years, the central bank is attempting to restart a Zimbabwean national currency, while simultaneously preserving its value from inflation. The new bond notes are pegged to the U.S. dollar, allegedly backed by a $200 million bond facility with Afreximbank, as a safeguard against rapidly losing its value to hyperinflation, as was the case with the nation’s last currency.

Ancient alligators which had long legs and run faster than dinosaurs, also ate them

image credit Imagine an alligator with long four legs and runs faster than dogs. Am I crazy ? Probably not. But, this species is now extinct. They lived in the Jurassic Period. The name this amazing creature is Galloping crocodile. It existed 100 million years ago. And also they preyed on dinosaurs!  The most attractive features of Galloping crocodiles are their bone structure. After made research on their bones structure scientists said that they were efficient swimmers but that when they clambered ashore they were also capable of galloping across the plains. But, modern crocodiles crawl on their bellies because their legs sprawl out to the side.  The fossils of this primitive crocodiles are now discovered in North Africa by a group of fossil hunters. Most of the fossils was discovered in the year of 2001.  Hans Larsson , a paleontologist at the University of Montreal, who took part in the expedition which was sponsored by National Geographic, wrote -  ...

Great Festival Durga Puja 2017 Episode 02

Today I am going to share some amazing sculptures which were used to decorate pandals of Durga Puja. Most of them were made with mud, thermocol, rope & cloth.

Like as iron made pan, palm leaf fan, mirror and sindur case, wooden comb, brass plate, kulo (bamboo tray) and shil nora (mortar & pestle).
