Bitcoin Forum

Unless something changes dramatically, it's clear that bitcoin xt will not be implemented in January. What do you think the developers will propose next since they believe 1 MB is not big enough?

it seems the community thinks 1mb is plenty if they were willing to let this die so quickly

Yes it has been dead for quite a while.
Eventually the limit will be raised to 2mb due to emergency.

Bitcoin XT is not only the BIP ...  ::)

I take about upload shaping for example ... but it has others solutions in the air (SPV very compliant with purge roll to serve more SPV demand).

I think that the developers will not propose anything. Probably they will not feel confident to do so.

Bitcoin is a technological dead end thanks to Core devs.

It'll probably just be a drawn out and increasingly polarised discussion on the forums until part two of the scaling conference, which I believe is in December.  I'm not expecting much, if anything, to happen before then.  2016 is most likely when the real fireworks start.

Correct. The second workshop (in Hong Kong) is supposed to take place in early December. However, I could almost say for certainty that we are not going to be seeing any solutions before 2016. The point of such workshops (as I've been told) is not to find a single solution or discuss it, but rather discuss the whole scaleability issue in general. We've already seen quite a few presentations that were very good. A lot more is going to come in December.
I'm still supporting the idea of dynamic block size with additional solutions (e.g. Lightning Network, side chains). I do think that the 'main game' for XT is already over, but who knows.

No.

i have heard on good authority that the Core dev WILL be increasing the limit doing something like 2-4-8 soon. this is a "temporary fix" and have other ideas which will do far more for bitcoin scalability than simply increasing block size.

If true, excellent.  Seeing any progress, movement, or even continued good faith negotiations is a good sign IMHO.

Oh please.  Save the endless public-misleading exaggeration for BitcoinObituaries.com   ;D

Your already unseemly self-pity is becoming nauseating.  The sooner you Gavinistas are herded into /v/bitcoinxt to circlejerk yourselves the better.

lol dud idk.
i don't like the >256MB blocks in blockchain, it is space wasting.

Oh yes, let's rush into the next battle of the civil war.  We might be able to push the price under $100 if we act fast!

This time many GigaBlockers, because they won't accept such an insultingly tiny/obviously placative increase, will be in alliance with the 1MBers.  The BIP248 coalition is powerful, but not powerful enough to defeat the strange HugeChange+NoChange bedfellows.

ya the hype had died down

But the repercussions of the failed governance coup continue reverberating.

EG, Galvin "Good Feeling" Hearndresen getting #REKT by Trace:

hype didn't last long at all

Hmmm

I wished I had a BTC for every time one of "experts" have called Bitcoin dead LOL



~BCX~

Bitcoinxt is almost over. You posted this anf I think it is going to gain somr popularity again. Stop talking about bitcoinxt here.

I really hope that you are right, because any temporary fix is better than sitting back and letting Bitcoin become the MySpace of cryptocurrency.

you must agree that this isn't the same situation as before, we are on a compeltely different board, this time there is the possibili to wreck bitcoin to a point, where the return will not be possible anymore

I am glad that the XT drama is slowly settling down and that the XT probably won't see any success. This was just not a way to force the changes as Mike and Gavin wanted to force them.

I also listened to Nick Szabo in one of the let's talk bitcoins show where he stated that too many people want bigger blocks, more transactions and mainstream adoption and that they are sort of blinded with this without thinking enough about the safety of the network at the first place. I got from his statements that we need to think through the stuff that we want much more throughly than we are thinking I guess.
