Am I the only one who is starting to get sick of this?
Really? we are all going to wake up one day and every block is going to be 20MB? when will you get it? there needs to be transactions to fill up a block; it is not going to magically happen ...

That's what 20 MB blocks require.  That means, you receive the blockchain, that's 84 gigabytes per month.  You send the blockchain to one peer, that's another 84 gigabytes per month.

No it is not; that is not how P2P works ... a single peer does not send all the blocks to another peer, it is shared. Please stop spreading nonsense and dooms day theories on a block size increase.

Quite frankly someone needs to grab the bull by the horn and make the decision and pull into the bitcoin core (and I am sure Gavin will).
