Why the urge to increase the blocksize?
I know that we need it, but we don't need it NOW, most block aren't 100%(or close to that) "filled".
yes they are, 90% of blocks are over 900k of data.. the 2mb rule is not something that forces miners to make blocks over 1mb.. its to a a safety buffer to allow blocks room to grow, even if it takes months or years. having a buffer is about allowing growth naturally and at their own pace, not forcing growth.
I wouldn't call that 90%
https://blockchain.info/charts/avg-block-sizeThis week most blocks are over 900K, OK, but it will probably come a bit down at any moment. It just keeps going up and down.
Ofc it needs to be increased sometime soon, but it's totally dumb to be "OMG INCREASE IT NOW. ARE U NOT GOING TO INCREASE IT? SCREW YOU, I'M GOING TO MAKE MY OWN FORK OF BTC, GET REKT".
