Blocks are filled with about 300kb of legitimate p2p users transactions.

You are trying to tell me we need to switch NOW to a 8000kb spam ceiling?

The "community" you speak of, ie. general redditards and bitcointalk users, are not representative of the bitcoin holders. As such, their opinion is as irrelevant to those of "big BTC companies" (corporate bankers shills trying to capture Bitcoin) and the other power hungry miners who don't know better.

You might get a block increase, but you will be sorely disappointed by its scale and its results.

XT is making negative progress.  It has regressed from the "fight you" stage back to the previous "laugh at you" phase.  

Excellent point about China.  The military part of the complex wants to keep strategic rivals from dominating Bitcoin, while the industrial (crony capitalist) side wants to capture the value provided by progress towards crypto-minarchism.

Team XT kills both birds with one stone, so I take Blockstream's VC funding as them 'keeping their enemies closer.'

Silly n00b, BIPs don't "replace core" and XT is dead, so we are done fighting it (the rest is just milking lolcows for comedy).

The Gavinista assclown Peter R hypothesized a daemon who could kill Core and allow the green shoots of a garden of new Bitcoin implementations to grow from its fertile ashes.

Don't you have your XT circlejerk forum now? Why don't you stay over there?

You wrote 'cripplecoin' because you are a tard or a shill (or both.)

Altcoins have their own blockchains, (mostly) based on their own proof of work, and backed by their own alternative socioeconomic consensus.

Have you read the Bitcoin FAQ?   

Yes, you don't push transactions sideways off-chain, you max the density of transactions in blocks.  I couldn't agree more.  But to do that, we'll need larger blocks. 

Hopefully not.  Bitcoin price is on the increase.  It would be a shame if cypherdick came back there where he has a voice several decibels above that of a house-mouse and fucked it up for us hodlers again.

By his original handle 'cypherdoc' he is widely known and hopeless rekt ass-clown now so if he was not smart enough to have created a few sock puppets back in the day he'll have to come crawling back as a newbie.  If he's not tied up in court trying to hold on to the 3000 BTC which once belonged to those hoping to get Hashfast gear in time for it to do anything worthwhile that is.

yep, the only alt shills are the ones behind XT.
too bad they wont fork off..

2016: 1MB endures, aided by Alts, Sidechains, and Lightning

I edited the word 'Szabo' out of my previous post.  That didn't change the meaning of it one bit.

Now what? 

Are you saying Szabo, Bitfury, F2POOL ("Gavin should be fired"), LukeJr, Mircea Popescu, thermos, and Blockstream are against XT because they want to kill Bitcoin, in order to pave the way for Monero?

Do you realize how counterfactual and paranoid you are being?  Monero matters because its blockchain is private by default and resists analysis.  The trade off for that privacy is greater bloat per tx, so without a Layer 2 it's not much more scalable than Bitcoin.

For years, we've been told the "current stalemate" "won't last."  But here we are with 1MB blocks.

Go sell your false sense of urgency somewhere else.  We're didn't buy it when Death&Taxes was moaning about coffee, and we're not going to change our minds about it now.

Your limited success in creating a temporary stampede among the cattle at /r/bitcoin is over.  BIP101 and XT are DOA.  

Now that XT is 100% FUKKIN #R3KT all they can do is discuss what's happening here on the real forum.  

^Fixed it; no charge.   

The great thing about having so many BIPs is they collectively slow the process down to a deep freeze of eternal consideration.

Those of us who like the 1MB cap get exactly what we wanted all along. 

Ya, you tell that little puss to get his ass over here if he needs to get it kicked some more.
