The only reason you could possibly think that is that your picture of us bigblockers is formed by mischaracterization of what we actually want. Instead of getting your picture of bigblockers' motivations and desires from your fellow smallblockers, you might want to read what we bigblockers are actually saying.
Well I apologize for assuming that "big blocker" meant that you support
bigger blocks?
The most secure blockchain, the most ecosystem, and the most user base -- at least for the moment. My fear is that by driving transactions off the main chain, these advantages will be ceded to another crypto.
Well isn't this happening? Your big block pals are now crying that they cannot afford to send transactions.
They are under the impression that everything should be free. Kinda reminds me of the Bernie bots.
How is SegWit bloating Bitcoin?
'Decentralization' without fully-validating nodes is not really decentralization. Each node in a decentralized network must be able to verify all transactions for itself.
Accordingly, the only nodes that count for decentralization are those that maintain not only the transaction
forkbranch of the data, but also the witness
forkbranch of the data.
The sum of the transaction
forkbranch of the data, plus the witness
forkbranch of the data, is somewhat larger than it would be if the witness data stayed in the same block. There is additional data needed to correlate the correct block of transaction data with the correct block of witness data.
For a fully validating node, the resource demands are accordingly higher for The SegWit Omnibus Changeset than a simple bump of maxblocksize.
That is only the first layer of how The SegWit omnibus Changeset is bloating bitcoin.
It is smaller than franky1's scenario, but it does not require his/her (fully rational, BTW) interpretation of Core and Blockstream statements of what they might want to do in the future.
edit: overloaded use of fork replaced with branchAre you saying that SegWit will be a bigger bump than 2MB blocksize increase and therefore bloat the chain?
So you are basically admitting that bigger blocks will bloat the blockchain?
