Title: Block size Post by: Zarathustra on August 17, 2015, 10:04:18 AM Enthusiastically discussed on places like Cypherdoc's thread or reddit (before the ban).
Title: Re: Block size Post by: randy8777 on August 17, 2015, 10:32:52 AM i think they will keep it till early 2016 but it caused so much drama that some people even think it will damage bitcoin for good.
Title: Re: Block size Post by: gentlemand on August 17, 2015, 10:40:19 AM The train has left the station. I think there will be a bigger block size sooner than we think and the change will be rapid. I'm not so sure it'll be XT. Even if it's a smooth transition there'll be permanent rifts.

It wont damage bitcoin for good unless everyone or almost everyone changes over to xt, but it will cause panic and uncertainty which is not what we want.

Already 8% :-\ https://getaddr.bitnodes.io/nodes/?q=/Bitcoin%20XT:0.11.0/ Title: Re: Block size Post by: Amph on August 17, 2015, 02:59:01 PM i'm sure that it must be done within the next year and before the halving if you don't wantbitcoin to remain "maimed"
remember that without bigger block there is no mainstream, in the case that this scenario will happen It will be prevented by the lack of bigger block.. Title: Re: Block size Post by: HeliKopterBen on August 17, 2015, 06:09:42 PM I predict we will quietly see larger blocks appear after the first of the year. XT will gain traction over the next couple months or so and quickly become the dominant implementation. Core will reluctantly switch to bigger blocks before the fork. A few diehard 1mb supporters will attempt to keep the 1mb chain from dying, but eventually it will fade into obscurity. All the fud and controversy will seem rediculous for such a non-event, as usual.
Title: Re: Block size Post by: Mickeyb on August 17, 2015, 08:21:41 PM I don't know how long until we don't have bigger blocks, but I am sure we will have them very quickly. The XT people have had enough and they have drawn the move and there is no coming back. I really hope their move just speeds up the implementation of the bigger blocks in the core and of course, the change of heart of the core people that are opposing bigger blocks. I hope this would happen and not a XT fork.
Title: Re: Block size Post by: BitcoinNewsMagazine on August 17, 2015, 08:25:37 PM I pray for quick adoption of BIP 101 by the core developers. Mike Hearn as lead developer? Ouch.
Title: Re: Block size Post by: Zarathustra on August 18, 2015, 08:28:17 AM 432 views - 24 votes.
Does that mean that most users have no opinion or that they don't care? Title: Re: Block size Post by: Denker on August 18, 2015, 11:39:58 AM The bigger blocks will come. But it's hard to predict then it will be. I believe first half of next year would be possible. Furthermore I hope core devs change their attitudes and BIP100/101 will be implemented in Bitcoin core.
