I was neutral on it until I talked to one of the Core devs about it. I don't understand all the technical explanation, but I'm now firmly against it. I hope Segwit2x fails.

It's brilliant Grin

With 2x, the worst case size is ~8 MB. We don't know how such large blocks will effect the network. It could increase orphan rates, it could cause many nodes to drop off of the network because they can't handle the additional load. We don't know if the network can handle such larger blocks. Just because your internet connection can and your machine can handle the load does not mean that everyone around the world who is running the node can. They may be restricted by things like the Great Firewall of China which may find larger blocks easier to spot and thus make Bitcoin easier for them to block entirely.

Very funny. I have an idea: lets decrease block size to 300kb because someone can't handle 1mb load.

I oppose it mostly on philisophical grounds that I do understand. I suppose you understand all the technical aspects. So tell us please, why should we all believe 2x is going to be the best road forword? Make sure you address all the reasons why Core is opposed to it, they're the ones who really know what they're doing.
