It&#xA;&gt;would be a shame if these things would be for naught because of being&#xA;&gt;decided prematurely.&#xA;&#xA;I&#39;ll second that, which is why I&#39;ve mostly not commented on whether or not particular proposals are good ideas, except in the case where they&#39;re obviously broken due to reasons other than the blocksize itself. For instance both of Garzik&#39;s proposals and Andresen&#39;s BIP101 have serious flaws regardless of your thoughts on the blocksize, which is why I&#39;ve commented on them. Wuille&#39;s OTOH is implemented well, which is why I have not commented about it.&#xA;&#xA;What might be valuable is to ask devs to explain what their threat models are, what should be at the root of their thinking about the blocksize.&#xA;&#xA;-----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE-----&#xA;&#xA;iQE9BAEBCgAnIBxQZXRlciBUb2RkIDxwZXRlQHBldGVydG9kZC5vcmc+BQJV1u9o&#xA;AAoJEMCF8hzn9Lncz4MH/0ZvaS+XK4+kVsgvdO0Mx8Axi8lesQoOSNafY1O8F4Tx&#xA;QQcIWYk+QgST0wBOooqIkivlWUhXUUc0A22VvYJ2gOt+KCWCscXkOnPrHWMA2f80&#xA;4KBEbLyFd+eaKQnCXoWX6SlDiYrNhyIySwAAvZyJ6IxTliUljuuk4Cc+K7pnVKu2&#xA;tfaRXtoal3IzyVb/rxUafgRoCaR2QdkYfr+xwkeF9AjqYFUKL+p5zENV97cbLsiF&#xA;/Rxtpe0A9RSClc+VX0yyjFAIIUfmFDWdC7+wNv8YBvHssE0lndPByxWTNVHnHmCk&#xA;44XfrsSL0LAqPIqcxyK0hnUSUgKPo0c2chd9mlXHpYE=&#xA;=eHHo&#xA;-----END PGP SIGNATURE-----</html></oembed>
