https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/42fggm/chinese_community_has_voiced_consensus_opinion_to/I think this is why we are starting to go up. Miners providing clear road map.
Also, I'm interpreting this as a miner revolt. Not siding with core or classic. Just changing 1mb to 2mb and nothing else. I'm happy with the move but not everyone might be.

January 23 afternoon, the coldest day in Beijing, good Bitcoin (haobtc.com) organized a party in full swing in currency circles. Participants in the development of good bitcoins, bitcoin block expansion, force mining operator, on Bitcoin future prospects and other topics heated discussion.
On the block expansion, the participants reached the following consensus and hoped that all bitcoin businesses and users to join this broad nine (90%) di (2MB) consensus:
1, Bitcoin need expansion to 2MB.
2, against less than 90% count bifurcated force consensus.

Consensus [Interpretation]
As we all know, this block expansion is no longer a technical issue, but a conflict of interest due to political problems. Background see previous article: " [Bitcoin facing a critical choice] urge all people to support macro news 2MB expansion . "
Miami Bitcoin Assembly yesterday did not reach any substantive program or conclusions, in the case of the community unable to agree on the bifurcation to the Classic program, in order to avoid splitting the community, it is necessary to seek common ground and reach a more basic consensus. Core agree that the expansion is not at risk, need consensus, we gave him a consensus. This consensus is necessary to be able to reach a broad consensus to avoid split in order to appease the market, but also a future operability.
90% consensus from the community on any separatist act resolutely resist , to ensure the continued development of the security community .
2MB consensus from Nakamoto white paper - " a peer to peer electronic cash system ", rather than" a peer to peer electronic clearing system , "according to Nakamoto Bitcoin design is the currency, rather than clearing system, 1MB not may meet the demand for money, we can not even meet the needs of the settlement system (1MB = 7 strokes / sec, SWIFT = 60 strokes / sec ).
On the basis of consensus, welcomes all bitcoin businesses and users to join other further views and programs, for example, the discussion in the party on the collision of a good program:
Quote: If the premise of full block occurs, and the Core program is not upgraded to 2MB, Classic program has not been a broad consensus in the case, to support mine pool in the community has reached a broad consensus on the expansion, and 90 percent have considered the force of consensus, according to Nakamoto given block expansion plan in 2010 ( [PATCH] Increase Block size limit ), on the basis of the existing version, simply modify the line of code, will be upgraded to 1MB 2MB, in order to meet their urgent needs, so that communities are more fully time to discuss the pros and cons of different options.
This would be a good and simple, the most likely to reach a broad consensus. There is such a final feasible solution possible pro (bi) make (po) Core reconciliation initiative.
[Risk] isolation witness
Core developers tried to isolate the witness (segwit) to indirectly achieve expansion effect, but there is a big problem and a safety hazard.
First, isolation witness in the case of single signature transactions 100%, up only 1.6MB achieve expansion effect, segregation witness the complexity and huge development effort, making it difficult to update other applications, not even update. Suppose you have 50% use transaction that is equivalent, after 6-12 months to achieve the expansion effect 1.3MB, it does not make sense.
Secondly, the isolation testimony to Bitcoin underlying logic changes a lot, developing a huge workload and a high degree of risk, under the pressure of expansion in the community, Core development there must rush, the bit continent CEO Wu Han bogey on the party yesterday confirmed the "Core development work ten hours a day presence crashing" . Bitcoin user a lot of people are technical background, you rush out very clearly what is the quality of the code.
And many people's minds, "stable and reliable" Bitcoin different bit on history there have been many loopholes credits (" History vulnerability disclosure "). For example, 15 August 2010, hackers have used integer overflow vulnerability brush coins (" Bitcoin had been brushed out of 184 400 000 000 ").
Now "stable", is six years constantly fixing bugs results Bitcoin. If the hurried work on the line isolation witness, once similar serious loopholes, currency price volatility is not a simple one or two hundred, but to directly erase a number and cause irreparable long-term adverse impact on the reputation of Bitcoin . Thus preventing on-line Core hastily without adequate verification of isolation testimony is very important.
[Consensus Action]
We will do our best to invite Bitcoin companies added to this basic consensus.
Please all Bitcoin users, replies to support this consensus basis, thank you for your support for Bitcoin!
Additional information: Why are 90% considered force consensus?
Because some operators not force open the mine pool (solo mining or private pool), which is considered part of the force is difficult to directly express their will,
remove this part of the silent count force, requiring 90% considered force consensus, in fact, it requires 95%
