I thought this issue s been resolved. The only question s when will it get implemented. Why do you raise it again here?
it has not been resolved at the last round table it come out that only a handful out of 50-70 poeple actually support  the compromise reached at the other roundtable in HK.

You have the option of rushing a decision and implementing something because you want to fix one thing and then you break something else. We all know bigger blocks = higher security risk. The other option, like the Core people are doing it now, is to concentrate on a manageable increase in the block size <SegWit> and to test the water, before you just dive in. The Classic approach is, reckless in my opinion and only a desperate attempt at a power grab.

They know the Core team have the best solution, but the Classic people focused only on the Block size to gain more favor with the crowd. Why the sudden stress tests from a unknown entity?   

thats just plain false.

segwit is infinitely more complex/dangerous than simply raising blocklimit.

oh no here comes another test of 400

Quote
There were a couple of key moments that I remember. At one point, everybody was asked if they supported the “Hong Kong compromise” from the week before (segregated witness in April, then code for a 2MB hard fork in July of 2016 with a minimum of a year before 2MB blocks are allowed).

“Everybody who support that, raise your hand” : a dozen or so people, most of whom were part of that Hong Kong meeting, raise their hands.

“Everybody who does not support that, raise your hand” : everybody else (forty? fifty people?) raises their hands.

There was a lot of talk about moving the July of 2017 date closer. In particular, a plan was presented that had a three month grace period after 95% of hashpower voted yes and 75% of coin-age-weighted-transaction-volume-in-some-time-period also indicated support.

well it seems very little poeple actually agree with the “Hong Kong compromise”, everyone has their own idea of exactly how it should all go down in history.

this is horrible news...

Of course we don't agree. I support the compromise only because it would force Core to change it's requirement of unanimous consent to any big change. Either that or they renege on the deal and can be jettisoned from any future serious discussions. The terms are absolutely crappy. SegWit should be a hard fork. 2 MB needs to happen by the halving. 

I would say a test of $300 would be more appropriate than merely $400, but this is Bitcoin, so who the hell knows? One million of the 8 million in recent leverged longs on BFX has closed already. That leaves only about another 17000 coins to be sold before overhead resistance is back to normal levels.

i agree with you 100% 2MB needs to happen sooner rather than later... but i'll put aside my preferences/beliefs and back anything that promises some increase block size in some way, and has a shot at gaining >75% hashing power.

it's good to know soon resistance will be back to normal levels. I do fear 350$ may need to be hit before this happens... oh well, we'll see, in end end i'm confident it will all work out somehow.

Dear miners,

I am a bitcoin investor, speculator, end user. I am asking you, no i am begging you, JUST DO IT!

I know you do not want to offend anyone or step on some toes; you want to make sure that when you put the 2MB limit in place it is because we have reached "consensus" on the issue. I BEG YOU, do not delay any longer, assert your power! do not wait for somthing that may never happen, do not let a dev believe they know better than you, or have more power than you, they don't, show them! let them feel the wrath of your hashes, Command their respect!

Put in place the 2MB limit TODAY, without their "approval". Put out some code of your own, gather >51% hashing power, and FORK us to the next level! if this offends the some poeple / core devs and they rage quit, GOOD! we dont want them trying to control bitcoin, it is not for them to control, bitcoin is OURS not theirs! amass 51% and take control!

As an investor / speculator, I promise you, if you can demonstrate that bitcoin's destiny isn't in the hands of any one group, but requires vast amounts of power to sway one way or the other,and that no amount of FUD can stop you/us; I will value bitcoin much more.

Time is now, do not delay, own the day!

You put way too much effort into that stuff. It's kinda creepy.

my plan is to be back to "all in" long before segwit is released ( re-entry in progress NOW... )  and then sell again when segwit is released.

i'm saying "rumor has it everything is going to be alright" and i'll sell the news when everyone is buying like crazy thinking "everything is going to be alright"
1614  Economy / Speculation / Re: Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion on: March 06, 2016, 03:35:42 AM
This has been one of the best BTC shakeouts ive seen this yr...4months before halving...things are getting very interesting.
it could go much lower still, but it's going to bounce back, and it can't go down for much longer; after segwit increase capacity by 50% and core starts talking about other segwit like enhancements + the up coming 2MB HF, all this FUD about scaling bitcoin will vanish. this is probably the last wave of selling induced by blocksize debate.


will armstrong make another post about how he wants 2MB HF now and segwit later? will anyone care? stay tuned tomorrow!

it's weird i change the poll, and it reorders the options and drops a few, i have to fight with the thing to get the options i want.

Adam,

Do you think maybe a new wall observer poll could be in order?  Maybe regarding BTC's price, rather than talking about this blocksize limit bullshit (even though blocksize limit is arguably related to price)?


Surely you could phrase the poll anyhow you want and with whatever time frame work that you like.   Do we know about a date of an event within the next couple of weeks that could be important to bitcoin's price?),   I'm thinking a week or two down the road or maybe something like this could be decent to poll folks to get a sense regarding whether wall observer participants are generally bearish or bullish in the short term:


>>>>>>>Mark your closest prediction.  By 5pm Eastern standard time on Wednesday, March 16, bitcoin's price will be?


above $467

above $432

above $415

above $400

below $400

below $380

below $360

below $340<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<





lol i JUST changed the poll

yes i'll bring back these weekly price prediction polls.
