Topic: If most nodes and miners start using XT will the devs agree on a change? (Read 444 times)

Users have nearly five months to make the switch before either the 75 percent threshold is reached and non-XT bitcoins lose their value, or the XT project is abandoned. “If the fork 'fails' in the sense of just not getting enough support, nothing happens to bitcoin,”

If the core devs and Gavin agree on one change that will hard fork Bitcoin to mine and accept bigger blocks, I think most people would stop using XT and move back to the Satoshi client.
We could implement Mike's XT features later on down the road, like relaying the first observed double spend.
Core devs, how would you feel implementing the same type bigger block increase that's in XT, but make the increases smaller to something like this...?
Satoshi:0.12.0
Fork to 4MB blocks after 8 weeks of 80%+ of miners are using Satoshi:0.12.0. Earliest starting date on fork would be Feb 26 2016 at 00:00 (8 weeks after Jan 1 2016) .
Blocks increase by last two increases (one for 2018) every two years till 136MB blocks in 2030.
4MB 2016
