Anatomy of the Bitcoin scaling debate, Part II: Bitcoin Core development/develop

[beastmodeBiscuitGravy]

There aren't 'hubs' in lightning, especially not any form of it I support. Blockstream has no business plans to collect bitcoin fee income from lightning, never has, and the claim otherwise is just whole cloth fabrication.

This is the kind of statement I was looking for, thank you.

Solving the routing problem without a natural coalescence into hubs is a tough nut to crack, I look forward to seeing attempts to thwart this outcome.

It can be phased in, like:

if (blocknumber > 115000)
    maxblocksize = largerlimit

It can start being in versions way ahead, so by the time it reaches that block number and goes into effect, the older versions that don't have it are already obsolete.

When we're near the cutoff block number, I can put an alert to old versions to make sure they know they have to upgrade.

i think he said don't touch blockchain. if you want to change then change like this, where you do not need to change it again.
