I think that this is the more important thing. BIP 100 proposal just came out by Jeff Garzik and I see a lot of support in many threads and in all of the forums toward this change.

I think people are tired of drama and tired of discussion. Big miners and major Bitcoin start-ups are tired as well. This needs to be solved and it seems to me that we are getting close to the solution.

By the way, great pic! :)

The bigger block support does not mean that bigger blocks will be adopted, though. Once the developers say they are going to move towards that, it will be much safer.

Say, isn't Garzik the guy who works for BitPay?  The outfit which bet (a lot of angel investor's money) on Bitcoin being used by the masses for buying trinkets?  The outfit who has been hemorrhaging cash and laying off employees?

I'm just curious because I've read thousands of time how Blockstream is going to do {not sure what but something} and make a lot of money exploiting Bitcoin and therefore nothing they do should be trusted and everything they say is evil (...which is kind of funny since on the individual coder level they are primarily responsible for Bitcoin itself at this time.)
