[2016-01-18] F2Pool Statement Indicates Plan To Hard Fork 2MB Bitcoin Block Size

[jdebunt]

The Bitcoin block size debate has taken another interesting plot twist in the past few hours. F2Pool, one of the largest Chinese Bitcoin mining pools in the world, has announced they support the hard fork for an increased 2MB block size. While the post on BitcoinTalk is a weird translation from Chinese to English, it looks like F2Pool might be attempting to push people to accept the Bitcoin hard fork. Not a great move in the Bitcoin mining industry if this were to be the case.

If the Bitcoin core also supports the 2MB block size increase, the move to the 2MB will be quite smooth. But hard fork might still be needed.
