BIP148 is coming, so lets look on nodes:
90% Core
10% BU
Lets guess, what will happen when 148 activate in November?

More like: http://luke.dashjr.org/programs/bitcoin/files/charts/software.html
90% Core
2.5% BU
7.5% others.

If 148 is USER activated soft fork, and majority of USERS want cheap and fast transactions ON CHAIN, is IS possible to make UAHF and raise block size.
I know, that scaling on chain is impossible, bus as I mention earlier - segwit goodies need time to be up and running, block size works instantly.

You still don't get it, do you? There is no emergent need for a capacity increase HF. As soon as the spam stopped, the mempool is nearly empty. https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin

@Lauda, blocks are NOT verified as whole at one time. Maybe you forget, that every transaction that is received by node is verified on delivery. New block is announced as header (one hash to verify POW) and hashes of transactions included in it - node just need to verify gentx and pull/verify only MISSING transactions. In other words: if node is online and collecting transactions, even 15MB block can be verified in second, because node know and have verified transactions from block.

I am most certain that you don't know how Bitcoin works. You still verify the whole block, not just a partial part of it. Roll Eyes

You can effectively DoS the network with 2 MB blocks. 15 MB is absurdly large, unsafe, unneeded and would take down a high percent of our node count.

And how many % are just running SW / core just because of some signed letter politics, hidden or open FED meetings or just uninformed ? What would it look like if all could decide on really a free and uncensored base?

How many % are running BTU/altcoin because Ver or his employees were spreading propaganda and/or were lobbying ViaBTC/TopBTC/Jihan? Roll Eyes

We don`t know. BIP148 anyway need hashing power, or nodes that support it just ban itself from network into no-new-blocks reality

It is 'user-activated', not 'miner-activated'. Nodes >0.13.1 already support BIP148.

Im sure you know that moving away from sth that worked for some years is a bigger hurdle than just keep things as usual and stay uninformed.

So you re again showing clearly that you compare apples and snakes by claiming BU boys just follow stupid propaganda and high invested miners do not look into risk calcs. Better check what really happens and judge again.
