Again we have another "we must increase the block size ASAP" fork crap - under the most stupid name "Bitcoin Classic".
It's a "classic" alright - a "classic attempt to FUD people into letting a small bunch of wannabe Bitcoin overlords take over the project".
The blocks are not even nearly full most of the time (apart from attacks which are just spam being used to fill up the mempool for FUD reasons).
The reason that people don't use Bitcoin for normal txs is "why the hell would they?".
Even if a vendor were to offer a cheaper price for paying in BTC you still have to change your fiat into BTC to purchase from them (and then most likely BitPay or another provider is going to take at least 1% commission).
If you don't purchase your BTC via an exchange (and no average person is going to do that to just buy something) then most likely you are going to pay at least 5% commission - so if you are ending up with 6% commission - did you save anything from using a credit card?
Also you can't get a refund if you pay with BTC - so the masses are not screaming to pay with BTC at all (far from it - if it cannot be reversed then I suspect 99% of people would not want to use it as certainly every person I have spoken to does not like the idea).
Can we stop with the FUD and let the project just continue to improve the tech?
I don't personally believe classic is the solution but a product I am working on involves using bitcoin for micro-payments, similar to the way nickel peep shows and newspaper stands and soda machine work - and those can make a lot of money but they can't make as much online because of credit card transaction fees and chargebacks.
Right now sometimes the way this is done is through the purchase of "tokens" to reduce the transaction costs - but with bitcoin that isn't necessary, the fee is paid by the buyer and is small.
With micro-payments for digital access, you do not even really need to wait for confirmations, just seeing the transaction on the P2P network is enough to know that you will probably be paid and if a double-spend is performed, you just ban the user from your service.
With that model, if it works, there will be increase in transactions many of which are very small in value.
So yes, the number of transactions is a problem that needs to be solved.
But no, I don't think classic is the solution we need.
