Gavin Andresen Requests Feedback for His Version of BIP-102


Block size debate, who is not familiar with it? The arguments are slowly cooling down as most of the Bitcoin community is favoring Bitcoin Classic. Bitcoin Classic proposes an increase of block size from 1 MB to 2 MB to accommodate growing transactions on the Bitcoin network.

Bitcoin Classic calls for a hard fork in the blockchain to introduce the change in block size. Recently in an email, Gavin Andresen has called for constructive feedback for his variation of Jeff Garzik’s BIP-102. BIP-102 was proposed by Jeff Garzik, one of the few Bitcoin Core developers last year. Like Bitcoin Classic, BIP-102 also calls for a 1 MB increase in block size.

While asking for feedback on the modified BIP-102 proposal, Gavin Andresen provides insights to his rationale behind certain points made in the proposal. In an ordinary circumstance, increasing the block size is not a very big deal. Making a small change in the code, where maximum block size limit is changed by 1 MB to 2 MB should do the trick. However, in reality especially with lots of people relying on the blockchain for bitcoin transactions and miners constantly working to process these transactions while they search for new blocks makes such a simple modification impossible. In order to make the transition as smooth as possible, a series of codes needs to be modified and tested q multiple times for any bugs that can potentially break the Bitcoin network.

Mmmm... good, if the blocksize debate ends then that means I have cleared two main conditions for a huge bitcoin price rise, it's nice to see more detail about this from the news articles.

Have any other core devs commented? Why couldn't this just be merged into the reference implementation or whatever? Roll Eyes

Forgive my petulance and oft-times, I fear, ill-founded criticisms, and forgive me that I have, by this time, made your eyes and head ache with my long letter. But I cannot forgo hastily the pleasure and pride of thus conversing with you.

I wouldn't know enough about the technical bits, the fact that they seem to be talking again and actually working on the code instead of bickering is a good sign though.

It ended about 5 times already, but some people are bad losers. Or "winners don't quit!" as I'm sure their weirdo double-speak would have you believe.

Isn't Core free to review and possibly accept this BIP?

I hope he waits for the feedback, before he submits his next Bip proposal. He jumps from one Bip to the next every other week... it just depends on what mood he is in,

or what he thinks might give him a foot in the door to get into the lead maintainer position again.  Roll Eyes They took a 360 degree turn from suggesting a benevolent

dictator for Bitcoin to asking feedback and working with the community to make changes. Is he playing the crowd?

Here's the way I see it. I could see it wrong, but:

I don't think either of these implementations were started by Gavin. Maybe by contributing to them he's trying to mitigate the damage? If there's a slim chance the new fork will take hold, isn't it better to have him get the code right first at least?
