@Technom4ge @Kosmatos I’d prefer any implementation that will save us from having to continually come back to this debate.
@MG_Awesomi @balajis Only decent “solution” I’ve heard is that we continue to add utility to the Bitcoin ecosystem and grow the market size.
@MG_Awesomi @balajis Volatility is natural in free markets - altering a market try try to achieve stability tends to delay the inevitable.
@MG_Awesomi @balajis I think Bitcoin will continue to operate - the big question is what the primary use case for it will be.
@Technom4ge It’s not a foregone conclusion, but it’s difficult to convince ecosystem to switch to a new group of devs w/o Core’s history.
@BTCFoundation You nearly gave me a grant to fund Statoshi; how about a follow instead?
@briceb8e Original block size was 32MB and it was decreased to 1MB in ~2010 or so
If XT can’t form a new Schelling Point for Bitcoin protocol development, I doubt Classic / Unlimited / etc can - just adds fragmentation.

@Datavetaren I don’t think you’ll get anyone to commit to a number or percentage - it’s a “feeling.”
@Datavetaren The answer from people crying “contentious!” tends to be “I know it when I see it.”
