What about decentralized projects like twister , lighthouse , and openbazaar that have limitations imposed by the 1MB block size?

What about them? I don't see them in the WoT. Regardless, do you think we are going to compromise the soundness of our money so that some derpy kickstarter replacement can get a free ride on the blockchain? You're insane.

I have to say I agree here. A high max block size is an insane idea. It would open up the blockchain to even more spam from 'derpy kiskstarter replacements' and other startup projects that seem bent on using the blockchain as cloud storage. There should always be a disincentive to spam the blockchain, of course. But the 1MB limit may be an obstacle for legitimate wider adoption, so it shouldn't be dismissed outright.
