I don't think Gavin looses credibility, as he started an important discussing that will basically "make it or break it" for Bitcoin. We need this size increase... Probably everyone would postpone that if it wasn't him. And this is why there are several people on the core dev group: so that at least one person thinks differently and advances some proposals. If someone goes in with a proposal, there are other people to correct it, and make things even better... Smiley

Interesting Interview and while I respect Mike Hearns' insights and work I think he was being a bit unfair and mischaracterizing some of the other developers arguments.

Has Hearn or Gavin addressed the math error that led to 20MB instead of 8 MB yet?

I wonder what could have happened if Gavin forked to 20MB before anyone realized there was an error on that calculation. Gavin has definitely lost credibility after that mistake.

well you know, everybody can be wrong, but hell... i agree that he should at least do the maths twice before he propose it, so yes i agree with you, he lost some credibility after his mistake.

btw ty for the interview link i didnt know it, i will retweet it right now Wink

From 51:02 onwards... Now we're talking! They're finally stepping up and applying the change on Bitcoin XT. And then we vote Smiley

Quite a nice interview with some information... Also good for those around the forum that still have questions or doubts about making a change in Bitcoin
