now luke JR says 4mb weight is good but lets bring policy.h down to 0.5mb (facepalm)
I believe what was being avoided was the risks of a hard fork? There are people out there who want to kick out the Core developers. The "2x" hard fork was one supposed to be one of their traps. But post quotes and links of the facts. I would like to read them.
luke wantd to avoid hardforks....?? .. pfft.. no. luke wanted to avoid the network voting against the cor roadmap. basically not following the core roadmap, so he went out screaming that everything not core roadmap was bad.. and then went on and became part of the 3 shell trick game to actually cause a harkfork (mandatory bilateral split)
i call it the 3shell game because it appears as if its 3 choices to make on august first, but when you look under the shells, the result is the same.
USAF, BLOQ, ABC are all part of the same thing all paid by the same investors. (DCG.co)
as for luke wanting to decrease the soft limit(policy.h) back down to 0.5mb and you wanting quotes.. and your love for reading reddit and taking what is said on reddit as gospel. i shall give you your dream and desire of quote and of format you desire.
so here it is, on reddit. that way its from the horses mouth and from the source media site most fanboys love. thus you cannot say its biased.. because its handed to you exactly as you would prefer
https://np.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/61yvvv/request_to_core_devs_please_explain_your_vision/dficjhj/Despite this, Core developers have conceded all possible block size increase compromises. The soft limit default was raised prematurely, and now even segwit is proposed with a block size increase to 2-3 MB. Further increases are beyond the control of developers and miners, and require consent from the entire community.
No block size increase is needed now. All legitimate uses of the blockchain currently amount to approximately 750k/block average. If inefficient and microtransaction usage is put aside, likely below 500k would be sufficient.
this is him talking before segwit about how moving the policy from 0.75 to 1mb was premature and how core devs veto'd all hard limit(consensus.h) proposals.. and how he wanted the soft limit back down to 0.5mb... he even went on to say when LN finaly works he would hope for 0.1mb blocks.
ask yourself WHY
(answer: bottleneck mainnet. say mainnet cant scale to keep people using LN and vault up the coins into 'factories' to recycle channels(fort knox) so all that people play with in the end is unaudited unconfirmed, non community verified tx's.. oh wait. thats fiat2.0
gota laugh though. Luke Jr was part of team USAF which instigated the mandatory split. even though segwit from november2016 to spring 2017 only garnered 35% community approval.
but those funded by the DCG.co invstors did not just say lets go back to the drawing board and find a compromise the community would accept. they tripled down to push it through by making it MANDATORY
and if you even want to dare say that 32mb or any size above 1mb wont work per block..
then please.. go tell netflix that 32mb/10min(3.2mb/min) wont work and netflix should close for business because netflix cant work
tell itunes that its impossible to download a 3.2mb mp3 in under 1 minute...
go tell all the live streaming/video call services that they cant work.
