The long debate over the bitcoin block size is over. The updates being done to the bitcoin code have been published by the core developer Gavin Andresen on GitHub. The block size will change from 1MB to 8MB, with further doubling every two years so in 2018, it will reach 16 MB, then 32MB in 2020 and so on.
Will this make it into Bitcoin Core as well, or is there still a discrepancy between Core and XT ?
If so, exactly who or what still prevents the above patch to make it into Bitcoin Core? (i.e. so we can all stick with just ONE Bitcoin version)
