It seems to have wandered incredibly far off-topic.&#xA;&#xA;How is this off-topic? This a fundamental decision, from which all the other development decisions follow.&#xA;&#xA;And apparently it&#39;s far from settled, with one part pulling in the direction of HideCoin and the other in the direction of PopCoin.&#xA;&#xA;The block limit debate is a direct consequence of this fundamental disagreement.&#xA;&#xA;Until this is settled, Bitcoin has no clear direction and developers cannot make effective decisions: it&#39;s hard to get anywhere when you don&#39;t know where you&#39;re going.&#xA;&#xA;Even though this disagreement probably won&#39;t be resolved on this list, it&#39;s helpful to have this discussion for people to understand what the root problem is.</html></oembed>
