Then, we can hardfork to 2 minute blocks and diminish any possible allegation of premine.

Hi tacotime, I did not follow the discussion strictly so I am a little confused here. What is the benefit of 2-minute block? Reducing network bandwidth/blockchain size or orphans?

Yes that is the reason. There was no valid justification for one minute. The claimed reason was to make solo mining eaiser, but here we are one week into and people are already having trouble solo mining anyway (which was explained by me and others originally). How much more short sighted can you be than that?

One minute means many more orphans and reorgs, and as you point out, chain bloat.
