Its great that Indians are thinking about the blocksize issue but this BIP does not have much to contribute.

UpalC proposed this solution in this sub-forum and then ignored the criticisms to the idea.
Dynamic blocksize is being discussed since atleast 2 years now and he is the first to formalize it. That is appreciated but there is a reason why the devs did not do it 2 years ago - it doesn't solve the blocksize issue at all, it only just states how to increase/decrease the blocksize & that too in a pro-centralization manner.

I tried explaining him the issues through every medium I could, but I guess he perceived me as a jealous fellow, so I gave up & backed out. I am still writing this post because many Indians tend to jump over anything "Indian" without considering its merits & that presents a bad representation of my country.

Anyways, all the problems I stated were repeated by other people when he presented it on reddit and in the dev sub-forum. Again he had no answers and ignored them too.

I would request people to read his BIP and you'll understand a. why this is the most obvious thing anybody can think of (and many people did in fact) & b.Why it doesn't solve the blocksize issue.

If after understanding the issue and also his solution, feel free to jump on the patriotic appreciation band-wagon, but if you do so I'd really wanna know what you liked or what new did he present.

Such a show of crab mentality. Shame on you skang.
