hello bitcoin land
it's some very nice weather we are having this morning.
anyway,
is there a date set by bitcoinclassic for there fork?

will the dev's have their implementation which gives about 4x capacity to the network be ready in time before bitcoinclassic forks?

if not, will poeple switch to bitcoin classic's 2MB right away even if core is on the verge of a breakthrough?

only time will tell, i guess.

Timing is really simple. As soon as classic is released, we need 750 blocks out of the last 1000 to be classic blocks (block.version=0x20000008). If we get that, Classic is activated, and bigger blocks are allowed after a 4 week grace period.

sounds reasonable,
I like that they are doing a simple 1 line change to 2MB.
this has a shot at forking bitcoin i guess.
but i would expect core to fallow the 2MB rule once its set in place... why wouldn't they? if they don't they technically mining an alt coin.
"bitcoin" necessarily is what the majority want it to be.

i think at that point core would have to come to the realization that the development of bitcoin is becoming decentralized and so they can no longer call all the shots.
