Testnet — “A testing network for a decentralized project, that allows testing of experimental features.

The testnet is an alternative Bitcoin or Ethereum blockchain, to be used for testing. Testnet coins are separate and distinct from actual coins, and are never supposed to have any value. This allows application developers or bitcoin testers to experiment, without having to use real bitcoins or worrying about breaking the main Bitcoin or Ethereum chain.” (TokenMarket.net)

SegWit — “SegWit is the process by which the block size limit on a blockchain is increased by removing signature data from Bitcoin transactions. When certain parts of a transaction are removed, this frees up space or capacity to add more transactions to the chain.

Segregate means to separate, and Witnesses are the transaction signatures. Hence, Segregated Witness in short, means to separate transaction signatures.

The concept of SegWit was formulated by bitcoin developer Pieter Wuille.” (Investopedia.com)

SegWit Testing Continues to go Smoothly

When implementing any new core protocol changes, it is incredibly vital that the changes are vetted in a forked testnet variant of the chain to ensure that any errors would not affect the main chain. Heres an update from Chief Technical Advisor and ODIN Chairperson, Vaughn Bullock (Pixxlated).
