Here we go again, even the ignorant media is posting nonsense.
This information is outdated. We should be talking about 8 MB blocks because that's the right result from Gavin's calculations.
this is old already, they are talking about a much less increase, and help a slow gradual increase instead, like for example, we will jump to 2 then 4 then 8 ecc...
something like this should have a less impact on the network, and should help china to not be against it
Have you pulled this up from the article or has some developer proposed gradual growth? I might have missed it.
As far as I know this was firstly rejected because it would be much more complicated to code.
