Solar, I don't mind you having an opinion, but I do take issue when you post assumptions as fact.

If blocks do get full, InstantX transactions will start to be unlocked.

100% completely and utterly false. IX locks are mempool entries same as transactions.  They don't get flushed until the transaction gets written into a block, regardless of how many blocks that takes.

And, your disappointment is simply impatience.  The very last sentence of the proposal states:

If approved, a proper development, testing and deployment process would start before it reaches production. Let’s give Dash room to grow.

The process is already happening, there's just no need to implement it anytime soon.


Hey Moo.   There is more too it than just being impatient.  I think most people thought that proposal would happen quickly, not waiting 2 years for Evolution.  And if this was the only issue with Dash, it would be a pretty minor issue.

This is from the initial release post here:  https://www.dash.org/forum/threads/v0-11-1-instantx-release.3923/
Transaction locks are lost when restarting the client and only last for an hour
So if there are enough transactions that have fees higher than the InstantX fee, and blocks are kept full for an hour, the lock will be released and transaction unlocked.
