BIP101, is not ideal, I'd rather have no limit, but it seemed the limit could grow faster than the Bitcoin network grows. and I like the fact that "eight" (八 Pinyin: bā) sounds similar to the word which means "wealth" in Chinese, and we have eight doubling so it should be appalling appealing to those who are governed by superstition.
Appalling or appealing? It is hard to tell if you are serious or sarcastic.
it was a spelling mistake or a Freudian slip, I was being harsh, but lots of important decisions get made on superstitions, I've had first hand frustration working on project in China.
