It is not a trivial change to the&#xA;&gt; economics of a $3.2B system.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&#xA;Hmm - again I&#39;d argue the opposite.&#xA;&#xA;Up until now Bitcoin has been unconstrained by the hard block size limit.&#xA;&#xA;If we raise it, Bitcoin will continue to be unconstrained by it. That&#39;s the&#xA;default &#34;continue as we are&#34; position.&#xA;&#xA;If it&#39;s not raised, then ....... well, then we&#39;re in new territory&#xA;entirely. Businesses built on the assumption that Bitcoin could become&#xA;popular will suddenly have their basic assumptions invalidated. Users will&#xA;leave. The technical code change would be zero, but the economic change&#xA;would be significant.&#xA;-------------- next part --------------&#xA;An HTML attachment was scrubbed...&#xA;URL: &lt;http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20150507/29da17a8/attachment.html&gt;</html></oembed>
