Are you this annoying in person, or just online?

We met IRL in 2011, you have all the data to figure this one out :-)

I spent last week talking to some of the largest Bitcoin businesses (much bigger than Paymium/Bitcoin-Central or anything anybody in #bitcoin-assets is involved with), and they all want the maximum block size to increase.

And how's convincing core devs going? Any luck convincing anyone else than Hearn?

The poll in this thread says people support it by a three-to-one margin.

That's irrelevant, travel to Greece, ask around if the ECB should print more Euros.
Just because a lot of people think X doesn't make X correct.

It is going to happen sooner or later.

No probs, the faster you publish your altcoin's specs, the faster we'll be able to draft contracts allowing the market to short it into the ground.

I want it to happen sooner because Very Bad Things will happen if we get to 100% full 1MB blocks:

I don't think it's such a bad thing if frivolous transactions are discouraged from being burdened onto every full node's hard-drive.

being an annoying troll

I disagree with you, so I'm a troll... Is gmaxwell also a troll?

gmaxwell → gavinandresen: First stop pretending that there actually is consensus or that this is easy and safe. We couldn't even manage to get BIP34 right without two somewhat ugly unexpected effects (we burned the most significant bit of the block version number; and the switchover criteria we implemented wasn't actually the criteria described in the BIP)

I have a TODO list you could help out with. Although the last time you agreed to help out, Dave, you didn't follow through on your promises (do you remember when you agreed to help with the testnet?).

Am I missing something?
