Adam, I think you are 100% correct. But I am big block biased. However, statements speak for themselves.

1/ So to talk about safety @digitsu @olivierjanss, first we need to establish a common understanding. What is the end game?

2/ Are we taking about switching to Classic to reach 2MB via HF, and then back to Core after they follow with increase?

3/ Or is this a permanent switch to Classic forever whereby we abandon Core?

4/ and Core keeps writing code & fixing security issues to give to Classic team so they can merge and change 1 to 2 before re-releasing?

5/ If it's the latter, we should ask @petertoddbtc @morcosa @pwuille if they are okay with that arrangement. It's the polite thing to do.

@Excellion 1/ We're not here to replace core but to compete on merits. Our priority/goal is to scale Bitcoin on-chain first.

@olivierjanss @Excellion What's relevant here isn't Bitcoin Core vs Bitcoin Classic, but rather, Bitcoin protocol vs Classic protocol.

@olivierjanss @Excellion Protocol competition is a winner take all, as there can only be one winning protocol w/o screwing up BTC economy.

@olivierjanss @Excellion Alternative is protocol development _cooperation_, where compromises can be made between different parties.

@olivierjanss @Excellion e.g. the Bitcoin Core scaling proposal is a significant compromise in how it uses segwit to increase blocksize.

@petertoddbtc @Excellion Compromise to who? Segwit is something Core proposed. Many people want 2MB HF first.

@olivierjanss @Excellion Segwit didn't need to be implemented as blocksize increase; using it to increase blocksize was a compromise.

@olivierjanss @Excellion There's many - including myself - who would prefer to do no increase at all for now. But we must compromise.


My understanding of Todd's position, is that Segwit IS the blocksize increase. /golfclap
