This Calmed Me Down A Bit About The Blocksize Debate

3) He proposed a 17.7% yearly growth rate (which is a bit too conservative if we start with 1MB).

Starting in 2017.  Just enough for Blockstream to roll out their products and for us to hit the wall.  Anyway it won't be adopted.

As always, people are spreading false information in regards to this debate. How about you guys stop this, else we will never leave this vicious circle?

Peter Wuille - 1mb

1) First learn how to properly spell out the name of the person which is Pieter Wuille.
2) He is not for 1 MB blocks.
3) He proposed a 17.7% yearly growth rate .

His proposal is a bit too conservative if we start with 1 MB blocks.

Starting in 2017.  Just enough for Blockstream to roll out their products and for us to hit the wall.  Anyway it won't be adopted.

Stop diverting the argument. His claim is that Pieter supports only 1 MB blocks is false. End of story.

I think, we can divide it into people, who want an increase asap(the time for businesses to upgrade) and people who are saying, that they want it later.
The problem about "later" is that you can often translate it into "never"(but keep the hope up)

As I said many times already:
I don't care about endless discussions(which were there long before I joined Bitcoin), I care about code. So, when there is another BIP coded into a client, I can actually install on my PC, than I will re-evaluate, what I want to support. Everything else is just smoke and mirrors.

I'm not really keeping up because I figure I can just wait for the dust to settle, but in another thread, I read at least one person indicate that XT includes BIP101.  A version of XT that supports increased block sizes was definitely released, but I don't know if it's actually BIP101.  Do you?

No need to tell anything else. Don't use Blockstream  EVER

Yes, BitcoinXT is the only client that has a BIP (BIP101) implemented. So, if you want bigger blocks, that is currently your only choice.
