Protocol changes,
1) hard fork to remove 1 MB limit
2) At same time, add a new soft fork limit of 2MB

Pyramid of the day

Welcome back

We are hashing out some ideas for the first round of masternode funded projects, am thinking an off chain accounting system should be a priority, perhaps 2 devs on this as its a tricky idea to complete and requires knowledge in the finance areas.
if you don't mind, I may have to quote you to backup my lack of understanding, but if you have anything to add or want to join the project, please do   ...

Agree, and also,its the 2 worlds of on chain and off chain systems, perhaps merging the totally inefficient bitcoin ledger coupled with the fast efficient off chain asset/record system of ripple  masternodes

''Bitcoin is deliberately less efficient than a centralized ledger! Its design adds really difficult engineering constraints to what we already had. How could this technology possibly be cheaper than what we already have?''

Dave Birch is going to give a talk on it in Amsterdam next week (hypercube is half way down)

''Your excellent piece reminded me of my blockchain cube for Amsterdam next week @gendal ''

The pieces referred to by Dave Birch are these, I think,

They are thinking the same as you have been saying months, I believe  

Off topic (but juicy) wednesdays with a global outlook by Dr. Jim Willie

Says John Kerry was shot in an assassination attempt in France recently and not a bike accident !!!
And the reason the Cyprus banks were shut down was because Russia was using them to buy gold and the western hegemony could not allow that.

Cube of the day 

I am getting deja vu more and more 

Excellent! that google maps dude knows his stuff
So 'whats app' managed 1 million messages per second on 1,000 networked computers.
And simple maths would make 2.5 million messages = 2,500 masternode computers , and does 1 message count as 1 possible off chain financial transaction then ? hmmm...

Interesting, more eyes the better, so could even sort the somewhat mysterious masternode bandwidth gnarliness.

You will have to add the instantX feature and then it will truly be instantly and you're be protected from double spend attacks.
Hearing lots of good things about you guys,
hey am wondering is there a way of telling how much daily volume per coin there is ?

Monero tip of the day

1) goto control panel and display,
2) in display settings, set rotate the monitor by 90 degrees.
3) proceed to carefully turn monitor physically by 90 degrees, making sure it is stable in the new position and won't fall.

Enjoy the full candle in all its blazing glory

I am trying to do the gitian builds for client and minGW for sgminer, have most of the software installed and the virtual box setup but am not quite there yet, lol.
