Matt Corallo also started the public conversation over this&#xA;issue on the mailing list by stating that he was not in favor of acting now&#xA;to raise the block size limit. I find it a reasonable position to take that&#xA;even if you feel the block size limit should be raised at some time in the&#xA;future, there are reasons why now is not the best time to do it.&#xA;&#xA;On Thu, Jun 18, 2015 at 2:42 PM, Matt Whitlock &lt;bip at mattwhitlock.name&gt;&#xA;wrote:&#xA;&#xA;&gt; On Thursday, 18 June 2015, at 8:31 pm, Ross Nicoll wrote:&#xA;&gt; &gt; I may disagree with Mike &amp; Gavin on timescale, but I do believe there&#39;s&#xA;&gt; &gt; a likelihood inaction will kill Bitcoin&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; An honest question: who is proposing inaction? I haven&#39;t seen anyone in&#xA;&gt; this whole, agonizing debate arguing that 1MB blocks are adequate. The&#xA;&gt; debate has been about *how* to increase the block-size limit and whether to&#xA;&gt; take action ASAP (at the risk of fracturing Bitcoin) or to delay action for&#xA;&gt; further debate (at the risk of overloading Bitcoin). Even those who are&#xA;&gt; arguing for further debate are not arguing for *inaction*.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------&#xA;&gt; _______________________________________________&#xA;&gt; Bitcoin-development mailing list&#xA;&gt; Bitcoin-development at lists.sourceforge.net&#xA;&gt; https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development&#xA;&gt;&#xA;-------------- next part --------------&#xA;An HTML attachment was scrubbed...&#xA;URL: &lt;http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20150618/9989f38c/attachment.html&gt;</html></oembed>
