F2Pool, one of the largest Bitcoin mining pools in the world, has voted on increasing the block size to 8MB. This is the first time a Chinese pool openly acknowledges their preference for such a significant increase. An incremental increase from one MB to two MB and four MB was the original plan. But it looks like the time has come to ditch those concepts and solve this matter once and for all.

It might be time to cut these bad actors off: ASIC resistant hardfork time, that is.

If F2Pool really want their hashrate (and entire business) to evaporate, then they'll be on their own with their fork. I wonder which one the cryptocurrency free markets will pick Grin
