Note to all since I've been answering a lot of questions: I'm not a spokesman for BU. I'm just someone with a keen interest in the project, and more than that, the overall concept and approach. My views are mine alone. For more details on what others involved in the project think, you'll probably have to go to other forums because many who are close to the project feel - with some justification but wrongly in this case I think - that they will be censored here.

I notice Adam posted on the other subreddit, so if you're not averse to asking questions there you may get some answers that I myself cannot provide. Really the developers should be answering a lot of the specific questions (on reddit: /u/thezerg1 /u/awemany and sickpig (not sure of sickpig's reddit name)). My responses here are mostly about the general idea of user-adjustable blocksize settings, which I see as the major idea of the project - note that many others probably do not agree.
