JayJuanGee you're a small blocker?  Shocked


I'm o.k. with the current plan to implement seg wit first and to reassess the blocksize limit situation after seg wit is in play for a while.

I doubt anyone is suggesting small blocks forever, but at the moment there doesn't seem to be sufficient evidence of an emergency need to take some kind of drastic measures to increase the blocksize limit on an emergency basis..  and in that regard, the impression and/or creation of an emergency seems to be largely fabricated with a bunch of loud and whiny voices.

Seems like we are going to see how seg wit plays out and then be able to reassess the blocksize limit situation at that time.


Further I believe that there is no meaningful proposal on the table to merely increase the blocksize limit without also attempting to affect bitcoin governance, which demonstrates to me that proposals that have recently been on the table to immediately increase the blocksize limit appear to be largely disingenuous.

you're right even small blockers aren't small blockers anymore.

i guess to be a "small blocker" these days means you place a lot of value on keeping the system "lightweight".

I value that to, but not enough to sacrifice user experience, give up micro TX,  etc...

i guess there is a spectrum of "blockers"  


I don't attribute malicious intentions to the folks who are conservative about increasing the block size limits, and even though an immediate increase of 2 mg block limits may seem simple, it seems reasonable to me to tread with caution in spite of loudmouths and whining especially when the block increase proposals were also coupled with governance issues.

Speaking of blockers and governance, seems like the 12th is right around the corner...

Maybe I will want to change my answer to the poll to respond three times..Huh??

 The price on the 12th will bounce between $410 and $430... hahahahahahaha.. hopefully ending the day with $430 rather than $410.
