But I have serious doubts\nabout being able to do this safely at this time given what we presently\nknow about the Bitcoin network. And I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in this\nsentiment.\n\nHad we been working on fixing the known issues that most complicate bigger\nblocks in the last six years, or even in the last three years after many\nissues had already been well-identified, perhaps we'd be ready to increase\nthe limit. But other things have seemed more important, like specifying the\nuse of X.509 overlay protocols or adding complex filtering mechanisms to\nthe p2p protocol to make it practical to use tx merkle trees...and as a\nresult we're not ready for safely allowing larger blocks.\n\n- Eric\nOn Jul 30, 2015 11:43 PM, \"Thomas Zander via bitcoin-dev\" \u003c\nbitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org\u003e wrote:\n\n\u003e On Thursday 30.
