Where do you get the notion that the changes being discussed are nonreversible? If we can go from 30-odd mb down to 1mb, then I'm pretty sure we could find our way down from 2 if it was deemed necessary.
You do realize that the industry and the userbase is completely different now and in comparison to the time when the change of ~30 to 1 MB was made? It was much easier to get consensus back then and satoshi was still leading the development.
I beg to differ, I think you are wrong when you suggest "there is no solution". XT does not have a per tx limit - its a per block limit. It strives to ascertain rational limits to allow most tx's through but to limit obviously vexatious ones.
With 'no solution' I meant in XT. XT was mitigating the problem not solving it. Besides, unless someone ran enough tests we can not know if it was working.
Experience in programming is one thing. Deciding what Bitcoin should be is another.
So people who major in economics and politics/other random field should decide what the best
technical approach is?
I think that Classic is better since I think they are more willing to scale Bitcoin directly compared to Core.
This is false.
