Increase the BlockSize on Core.

It's obvious. We all want to increase the block size. Virtually no one disagrees about that. We have consensus!

But why doesn't it happen? Because the Core developers have invested 21 million dollars in BlockStream which requires small block sizes to maximize it's usefulness and profits. If you want to talk about a hostile takeover of Bitcoin, its' this TINY group of people who don't want to increase the block size vs the VAST MAJORITY of everyone else that wants to increase the Blocksize on Core.

The only reason XT is even in serious consideration, the only reason people are threatening to split bitcoin into two chains and go against consensus, is because the OBVIOUS SOLUTION to our problem is being stone walled by these developers who have more incentive for the success of BlockStream than they have incentive for the success of Bitcoin.

As the Core developers will not allow for a block size increase on Core, the only logical solution is to vote for XT. If you want to drop XT in it's tracks, support a block size increase on Core.

there is a thrid path

find some devs willing to fork Core yet again ( excetly how XT did it ) with increased block size and nothing else

then we let the miners and users decide which fork to run,

1)with block limit, Core
2)with minimal block limit increase, Core++
3)with block limit increase and loads of other changes we arent sure about, XT

Edit: fuck it man make like 3 different version of Core each one mines blocks with a different version number corresponding to the different proposed implementation of limit increase

https://github.com/bitcoinxt/bitcoinxt/tree/only-bigblocks

feel free to fork this if you don't want it mikes name...

i don't want it to be called XT its i want Core with a different version number thats all
i don't want it to increase blocklimit by much, increasing block limit is both necessary and controversial, i believe we will achieve consensus fast if the limit is increased only to met the needs of the moment ( double it to 2MB)
i dont want to fork it myself, i want the devs all the devs to agree to a procedure to achieve consensus, having different version numbers corresponding to the different proposed implementation all forked from the dev team as a hole
none of this BS "Core Vs XT war", present to us the options in a clam and orderly fashion and let us vote

basicly i want the dev team to all work together, when they can't agree they all submit their proposals to THE BOSS and boss being the community

wouldn't that be wonderful?
