"mean" is far more useful to estimate how many transactions are likely to fit in a block.
Nobody said that it wasn't.

Are we all supposed to wait as long as segwit takes to make a difference. (which will be ages or never)
Hyperbolic nonsense, nothing surprising there. If you want additional capacity, you will try to use Segwit as soon as possible, otherwise you are indirectly stating that you don't need/want it. It is as simple as that. The calculations have been done and we can expect a realistic ~180% capacity after some time (certainly not "ages or never").

segwit is not needed today. It has just been sold that way by core.
2 MB block size limit is not needed today. It has just been sold that way by Hearnia & co.

"Hyperbolic nonsense", yeah maybe, we all got an opinion. Some more credible than others.
(ftr not a dig at Lauda)
A realistic 180% "after some time"? if every transaction, paying less fees to miners, was segwit?
(Miners do more work for less fees. full nodes need more bandwidth than 1.8mb, think that is part of what Franky is saying?)

I am saying I don't want segwit. At least not yet, untill it can be more tested and proven.
Correct, 2 mb is not actually needed today. 1.25 would suffice.

(oh, just noticed the "hernia & co" comment. If we don't say the same thing as "staff" we are abused? shocking and ridiculous considering no thread here, discussion, goes without Laudas staff  "opinion")
