If you're going to bump it, at least throw in some recent developments like the news about the new bitcoin.com mining pool..

There's really no reason to link to anything owned by the altcoin pumper. Not to mention that if we moved to BU today (to their block size limit setting which I at a weird number; 16 MB I think?), the network would likely end up useless due to DOS attacks.

BU in and of itself doesn't "set" anything. The users running BU select their preferred size. Right now, the "altcoin pumper's" pool is set to 1mb blocks, because that's what consensus currently mandates. If we all moved to BU today, the blocksize would continue to be 1mb if that's what the majority of people set in their configuration. Technically, the option is there to set 16mb if that's what you wanted, but the network would simply ignore that while everyone else is producing 1mb blocks. I highly doubt there would be enough people setting it to 16mb to achieve a fork when there's enough difficulty finding support for 2mb at the moment. Wink
