its really sad when a jr. member makes more sense then the devs. a dead simple to solution, temporary? sure, if you consider fixed for years (aka the foreseeable future) temporary...

come on devs, think for 1 hour then change one line.

not a sad as a legendary member backing the killing of bitcoin by an alt.

who's that?

my bad misread n deleted

k,

if anything is going to kill bitcoin it will be an array of forks forced out by the core dev team's indecision. XT was a warning, time is running out.

don't completely disagree, but don't see such an immediate rush needed.

but if XT is adopted there will be a war.

if core stays, XT will be a distant bad memory very quickly.

i think everyone can live with being ~12 months away from constantly hitting the block limit on every single block. but we could see some new blockchain application which pushes us up to this point much faster, at that point core dev needs to do something fast or forks will come, then suddenly "what is bitcoin" becomes ambiguous, if there is a fork 2 version of bitcoin have ~50/50 hashing power, you might think price would cut in half, i think fungibility, and ease of use would go down the drain along with price. now imagine 3 bitcoins! what a mess!
