You can't stop this.

Oh yeah?

Watch...

Code:
static const unsigned int MAX_BLOCK_SIZE = 1000000;

Boom, stopped cold.

Next!

(and don't even try to bring up segwit in april scam, it is a minimum of 6 months away from release.)


Look at this tried and wanna be true outdated remanent of a made-up claim from the past, blocks are full... yeah, right.

Hellow::: Block size limit is a current feature, and not a bug..   and regarding seg wit.. you are correct that it is going to likely an improvement on the current situation.. and is a work in progress that is on the cusp of going live... Have a little patience!!

its an undesirable feature....

Undesireable, by who?  you  cannot really be still buying into the idea that bitcoin is somehow broken because of some kind of supposed blocksize limit issue?

my view has never changed...

i dont think bitcoin is broken

but it is limited.

unnecessarily limited.

but i do think there are SOME who choose to enforce this unnecessary limitation on the network for silly ideologically reasons.

Yes, we are likely repeating ourselves with some of these old arguments..... but yeah, maybe sometimes it can be worth repeating, or at least to reassess the matter under current circumstances.

You agree that bitcoin is not broken, but you assert that it is unnecessarily limited.

In essence, you are still wanting to suggest that the best solution is that the blocksize limit is increased; however, if bitcoin is not broken, and there are remedies in the wings, then I don't understand the problem... Where's the rush to increase the blocksize limit? 

I think that there remains a bit of faulty logic, when you are suggesting that something, such as a blocksize limit increase, should be done right away, but at the same time conceding that bitcoin is not broken.

Scaling is likely to be an ongoing issue that is not going to go away, and raising the limit or creating some kind of schedule as was proposed in XT and classic are not going to resolve the issues, and anyhow, those XT and Classic solutions had failed to convince enough folks about their essentiality (also they had the problems of attempting to attack governance too, which made them sloppy).  Anyhow, there are some partial remedies in the works that are close to being released into the live, and seems good enough to let those play out for a little while, first, before jumping too far ahead of ourselves concerning a problem (which you characterize as bitcoin being unnecessarily limited) that is not agreed upon as actually being a problem.
