Honestly Peter, to be blunt I long ago concluded you're just working backwards from your preferred outcome. You don't want Bitcoin to scale up, and you will continue to invent ever more convoluted and baseless theories as to why it can't, until the end of time. Convincing you doesn't seem to be possible.
You know before I read this I had a question mark pop up when Peter brought up chaum signatures in one of these threads. I didn't see an immediate connection to a solution. Considering he wrote a
detailed post on Chaum banks I wondered if personal preference was part of his outlook for the block size issue.
No one person owns Bitcoin so people are free to push opinions for whatever reasons they wish, but I'm also free to suggest the community ignore development input from any such people (I don't know what retep's motivations ultimately are).
Guys let me throw an idea out. What about a one time increase to something like 50MB? Let the market work out the rest (off-chain options, altl-coins, etc.). I don't think we'll find an optimum solution - Bitcoin's design may not include one - but we do need something a majority of people can live with, and I think we need a general consensus on it soon.
