Probably LN is the only option.

Another fork right just for ...whatever is out of the question.
A fork right now would piss of a lot of people, with all those transactions stuck , business already having a hard time implementing segwit wallets...
Not going to happen



A daydream I know..but how long can core put up with the spam'ing and high transaction fees w/o hard fork

on their part? not sure....seems sucky to be bitcoin core right now unless all or some of the above is done "pronto"

yeah, yeah, I know ...if wishes were horses...etc/etc

Well, it pretty much depends on how much of those fees are returning back to them.
If they do have about 40% or even more of the hashing power it would simple mean they get back almost half of what they spend and on top of that they get extra from the increase normal users pay.

So...they could probably play this game for months.

Well to start of this thread...below is my probably 'too simple' theory....


If I was bitcoin core...I'd either

1) pull Lighting out of my hat....and get some of that moving..razzle dazzle etc

or

2) do a hard fork, just to slap down Bitcoin Cash to about 800 bucks again at most, might not

be ideal, but better the decentralized group slap the BCH spam'ing centralized group now with a hard fork, I figure, then watch 'Rome burns'

with ludicrous fees!

(Actually, if I was core, I'd be pissed off enough to just do both...then all that BCH would come home to 'mama' Smiley
