I came up with an intelligent solution:

just make an update which scans the last 2000 blocks mined for their size and if those blocks were on average more than 80% or 90% full the network could automatically produce blocks 0.1 MB bigger. So whenever for a long time the blocks are full or near full an automatic increase by a very small step like 0.1 MB or less could be done by the network. Ideally the increase is a little slower than the build-up of fees to keep the chain secure.

I think this proposal from a non-coder is a lot better than that bullshit Gavin produces. Opinions?

Code devs can feel free to use my idea like it was their own.

Increasing blocks from 1MB to 8MB in a single step without market-demand for this blockspace or consensus is the idea of a moron, clearly.

If blocks should be bigger, they should be bigger because of demand and not because some moron says so.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

If a malicious and powerful miner decides full all blocks, it will end up having 8mb blocks after aprox. 3 years. Seems rare, maybe we need more speed on that.
(2000 blocks are aprox 2 weeks, 1 + (0.1/14)*365*3 = 7.82mb)

To stop block size from increase without a reason, what about a fee per kb in blocks for miners?
And what if we need MORE than 0.1mb of increment?, maybe adding a % of block increase would be better.
