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.
(...)
It is 'user-activated', not 'miner-activated'. Nodes >0.13.1 already support BIP148.
1. Looks like you really need catch up code. Node is verifying transaction only once - when arrived.
2. Not a single line about enforcing activation of SegWit in 0.14, so how 0.13.1 is supporting BIP148 (reminder: BIP148 was published 12. march)?

I don`t know how bitcoin works, so I never write a single line of bitcoin-related software, I never contributed to Core code, I never make public lecture about Bitcoin... I`m not a moderator of national Bitcoin forum in Poland either.
