Please enlighten us Lauda! Or are you baiting us with nonsense?
I shouldn't; albeit I told you nothing but :"there's more to the story". Neither have I made any claims, nor baited anyone with nonsense.

Everything you say, we can reverse. You said that "there are only a small amount of 'experts' who want 2 MB". Please show us the data to prove this. Somebody can easily say "there are only a small amount of 'experts' who don't want 2 MB". Who is right and who is wrong?
You can't. The answer is: everyone who signed the roadmap as an example. Of course you can 'claim' that if you call people like P. Rizun "experts".  Cheesy

please explain to me exactly what is Confidential Transaction Codes.
How is this relevant; when did I talk about confidential transactions? They aren't implemented in Bitcoin.

I would like to ask you to explain in great, in-depth detail why this data is not transparent or why it needs to be hidden and to prove that it and Segregated Witness is in fact not some Trojan Horse or "Bitcoin Core/Blockstream" control mechanism that we as yet do not recognize.
IIRC it is implemented in Liquid and that does not matter to us, unless you're using it. So basically you're saying that the people who are working on Segwit are smarter than everyone else who has reviewed the code so far; much smarter so that they could implant a control mechanism that nobody would recognize? Good luck with that.

It would not be bad; we'd get some experience with HF's. An increase of 100 KB every X amount of blocks until we reach 2 MB.
This is all people were asking for!
Did it really take 23 pages in a thread to hear you agree with a proposal?
Since you are such a staunch Core supporter, perhaps you can suggest it to the team and break down these divisive walls!
I don't have any direct contact with anyone from the team, nor would my word help you much. If you want to see something in Bitcoin, then create a BIP and start coding.
