No surprises, I did not sleep well last night. I am upset about this constant insistence from Adam, Gregory and others that the "technical community" or "technical majority" agree with them and anyone who doesn't is "non technical" or "not a contributor" or not an expert or not had things properly explained to them. This is not true and needs to stop. Gavin and I have both been working on Bitcoin in substantial ways for longer than Gregory and Adam have been in the community at all. We are extremely technical, as are many of the people who want us to release XT+larger blocks. We cannot make progress in any kind of negotiation if one side constantly blows off the other and refuses to take anything they say seriously, which has been a feature of this "debate" from the start. In contrast Gavin and I have written vast amounts of analysis on the concerns raised by larger blocks. So many hours were spent, we could probably fill a small book by now. We have carefully read and addressed *dozens* of points raised by the 1mb camp. We have also done our best to open this debate to the whole community. So it would be nice if the people who are so keen on 1mb blocks show the same respect to us. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
