We can phase in a change later if we get closer to needing it.

IMO it's a marketing thing. It's tough to get people to buy into a system, if the network is technically incapable of supporting high transaction rates.

If we upgrade now, we don't have to convince as much people later if the bitcoin economy continues to grow.

Since a block restriction would allow generators to charge higher transaction fees, they might "vote" against an increase in the max size in the future.

It seems unlikely to be a real problem though.

(How wrong appamatto turned out to be, as it IS a real problem)

I'm very uncomfortable with this block size limit rule. This is a "protocol-rule" (not a "client-rule"), what makes it almost impossible to change once you have enough different softwares running the protocol. Take SMTP as an example... it's unchangeable.

I think we should schedule a large increase in the block size limit right now while the protocol rules are easier to change.

Indeed, we should have.

You come up with interesting synopsis of what you deem to be relevant facts in order to support your weak ass conclusions suggesting that bitcoin is supposedly in some kind of an emergency and needs some kind of blocksize limit increase... it would be funny if it were not so lame, misleading and erroneous.

And we are, Segwit has already been released , activation code soon with 0.13.1 , and than 1-3 months till 95% over 2016 blocks. Done. Be happy.

This poster who goes by the username "Andre#" will unlikely be happy no matter what happens... He appears to selectively chose facts and to complain about a problem that does not exist as if the problem actually did exist.
