Title: [2015-12-18] Is BIP 202 The Bitcoin Block Size Solution Everyone Can Agree On?
Post by: shane on December 19, 2015, 01:31:42 AM
For those in the Bitcoin community who hoped the block size debate had come to an end will be sorely mistaken. However, there seems to be good news, as a new GitHub proposal has been made by Jeff Garzik to incrementally increase the Bitcoin block size over time. BIP 202 is not overly complicated, and could end up being the solution everybody has been waiting for.

"BIP 202 – Small Block Size Increments, Starting at 2 MB". We need to agree 2MB block size as soon as possible. It is life or death for bitcoin.

Seems to be momentum behind 2-4-8 + Segwit + LN.  Probably best to avoid muddying the waters further with more proposals.  Time to get this resolved so we can focus development on more interesting areas.

The conflict of opinions about the block size increase has broken the community. It has to be decided as soon as possible.
