It seems that stock clients can only go up to 732kb blocks. Miners/pools need to manually raise this limit, and that's what some did... While others have the limit on stock settings.

 Grin OK, thank for this technical answer.
 Roll Eyes and this guys want to raise the block to 8Mb ... ? they don't understand the basic setting of the actually stock client ...  Lips sealed

Yes, apparently they do. They don't need to understand the "basic settings of the stock client" to raise the limit to (or close to) 8MB

Last time we checked the GPS, we are also in China.

Exactly, so it's easy to conclude that this doesn't fit you Cheesy

So if we have 8 MB blocks what is stopping miners to manually cap their blocks to 732kb ?

Nothing. But if they don't change the settings to raise the limit, they probably won't change the settings to decrease the limit Cheesy

Nothing is stopping them other than profit motive.  Just like miners today could all decide to only mine blocks with a coinbase transaction and nothing else.

If you cut off the network's ability to process a reasonable amount of transactions, you remove the value of that network and suddenly you're making a lot less because the value plummets to nothing.

they could just make an announcement stating that miners need to raise the limit. it doesn't seem like a difficult task if you ask me.

The reasoning behind it seem to be that "it is for pools that consider that to be equilibrium for them". Not sure what that means.

Why, on specific block, i see 976kb block (normal) ... and somes (a lot !) others blocks, only 732kb ?
I have read something (on bitcointalk) that china pools only accept 800kb block.    Huh
