Is Mircea Popescu also against the 20MB hard fork because he's here to advocate for his altcoin?
No, he's 100% anti-altcoin. Is davout an altcoin advocate too? He must be, because he opposes the 20MB hard fork! Right?
Oh don't get me wrong, there are pure Bitcoin advocates who support the 1 MB block size limit, but they're greatly outnumbered by Bitcoiners who want the limit raised, like Satoshi Nakamoto, Gavin Andresen, DeathAndTaxes, and apparently the majority of this forum (if the poll was done honestly).
I noted that among anti-fork advocates, a high proportion seem to be advocates of altcoins. That doesn't mean all of them are.
Then why note it? If you had confidence in your core arguments, you wouldn't need to cast aspersions and muddy the thread with digressions.
Perhaps you could be bothered to address the content of our pro-altcoin critiques, rather than dismiss them with snotty hand-waving?
It's unfair to characterize me as "anti-fork." As already explained:
I'll support a 20MB block fork in the future, if
-we wait to see how the market/infrastructure/ecosystem react/adapt to scarcity in (1MB) blocks
-then raise the limit to 2, 5, or 10 if widespead support exists
-then run out of room at 2/5/10 and widespead support exists for another increase
-and implement pruning
-and ensure TOR users are not cut off
In any case, we need a majority, not just a consensus, to approve and implement such hard forks.
