Another scaling poll

[Zarathustra]

Do you think that the core devs will eventually be able to find a consensus at least among themselves and present one BIP for scaling Bitcoin instead of several? And if yes, when?

I just want to know if the core developers are volunteers ? If yes then I guess they will get bored before they find any solution honestly and end up with leaving the development like Gavin did and when that happens , it won't be nice ... so the sooner the better

i think they are waiting on the effect on the halving at this point, so around march april, i would wait that time

if the halving will trigg something with its hype there maybe be the need of the block increase, i don't remember but with the 1200 ath what was the maximum tx per second that was reached? there were slow down?

I guess they will wait for the block to be full first and see if a fee market will develop by itself, it is a test for the tolerance of the end user, I guess there are still plenty of room to maneuver before many people start to complain. Anyway, people never complained when their banks are closed during weekends

It may be in December maybe closer to summer, but they can do something anyway.

It is not a simple matter that we are dealing with. The decentralization of Bitcoin is at play, there are major trade offs that would need to be made by using big blocks. I want sightly bigger blocks + sidechain payment platforms like LN to scale up properly.

Well they have promised indirectly that they will have a proposal and near finished solution for a Hong Kong workshop. Now let's see what will they propose.

I believe that something will happen at this workshop but that's just my opinion. Nothing is set in stone as we know, especially in the Bitcoin community.

It would be very nice to finish with this problematic asap!

I think pressure will be bigger on the subjecting starting early next year... So I voted 6 months. But let's see what happens, this is just a guess.

Yes, I think there will be consensus, especially once transactions back up and fees rise. Blocks are getting pretty full.
