I&#xA;am supporting it because anything is better than nothing. Gavin originally&#xA;proposed the block size be a function of time. That got dropped, I suppose&#xA;to make the process of getting consensus easier. It is &#34;the simplest thing&#xA;that can possibly work&#34;.&#xA;&#xA;I would like to see the process of chain forking becoming less traumatic. I&#xA;remember Gavin, Jeff and I once considered (on stage at a conference??)&#xA;that maybe there should be a scheduled fork every year, so people know when&#xA;to expect them.&#xA;&#xA;If everything goes well, I see no reason why 20mb would be the limit&#xA;forever.&#xA;-------------- next part --------------&#xA;An HTML attachment was scrubbed...&#xA;URL: &lt;http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20150508/557fa94d/attachment.html&gt;</html></oembed>
