here is some PR:

50% signature discount
limited time only.*

*discount expires when features like 'confidential transaction codes' rebloat up the data in the main block.


and so 1.5mb block increase is just a laugh.. its not going to offset the new features to still give people more capacity

I don't get it. Why doesn't everyone agrees on the same for once. The scalability problem will not be solved by a 2mb block increase, less with 1,5mb. I even think that we should increase the blocks to 8 mb or more because there will be another block increase demand before the next halving (2020)

If you would have followed the debate the last 12 months you would know that such an increase would be very stupid and the worst thing you can do at the moment.

Terminated.
PR stunt?
I'm hoping that your assumption is a joke. Here's what we have:
1) Core doesn't propose any block size increase -> People complain.
2) Core proposes a block size limit (albeit a single developer ATM) -> People complain.


I wonder how long the grace period would be though. I would not mind this with a high consensus threshold.

I even think that we should increase the blocks to 8 mb or more because there will be another block increase demand before the next halving (2020)
You would break Bitcoin today. Please don't post suggestions without relevant knowledge/sufficient testing.

1) The segregated witness discount is changed from 75% to 50%. The block
size limit (ie transactions + witness/2) is set to 1.5MB. This gives a
maximum block size of 3MB and a "network-upgraded" block size of roughly
2.1MB. This still significantly discounts script data which is kept out
of the UTXO set, while keeping the maximum-sized block limited.

PR stunt or honest attempt to find compromise and middle ground?
