Hello,

1) Sorry if this is in the wrong forum. If someone could point me to where the main discussion is happening on this, I would be most appreciative. I searched the forum and found lots of Russian discussion.

2) Blocksize. In some ways this is really exciting - the world is using Bitcoin! Obviously, this thing now needs to scale - in some way. That could be off-chain clearing houses, an increase in block size, SegWit or Lightning network... so many ways it could happen, and a seemingly deadlocked debate on the path forward. I am seeking info to prep for a podcast on the subject. Yeah I know many people have done a podcast on the subject but I like to talk into my computer and I haven't done it in a while. So I have some questions. Any help is appreciated:

3) Where can I read information on the various popular Blocksize solutions? I am digging through bitcointalk looking but not finding much

4) I heard discussion on some of the solutions is banned here (is that true?). While that is a bit shocking, I would appreciate a PM if there is another place to view one or more of the banned solution discussions.

5) Can anyone explain to me why SegWit wasn't universally accepted as the solution when it was introduced?

6) If anyone can explain why the various different parties are fighting so vigorously, I would love that. I can't seem to find the core reasons why community is at each others' throats.

Thanks for all helps.

Excellent topic, O/P. I have wondered which route forward would be best many times myself, but the subject is too technical for me.

I will take a look at the reddit link by jonald, but I would like to see correspondents HERE explain in simple (hah, smile) language the pluses and minuses of BU v SW.

EDIT: Perhaps someone could explain in a similar way the advantages (or not) of forking too.
