Doesn't this apply to SegWit as well?
This doesn't apply to anything and is a ignorant statement. The average confirmation time for normal transactions stays the same regardless of remaining capacity in the block. The blocks right now are rarely full and the only transactions that don't get confirmed are those that don't have a proper fee. The situation would be the same at 2 MB with occasionally full blocks.
Uhhh, shouldn't the best code win?
Perhaps then, we should leave development as it should be -- meritocratic. Not based on a Reddit/Twitter political campaign.
You better hope miners don't support the mob rule Classic approach....because if this tiny minority of developers is to replace Core....it will be very dark days ahead for bitcoin.
If people weren't ignorant and playing politics around here it would be that way. Look at all the developments that Core developers have made, now look at the Classic developers and tell me what they've created? Nothing. Toomin's plan is to copy things from Core.
