I'm not talking to Core devs now, I'm talking to you -- a Core supporter who claims that blocksize shouldn't be increased, because fees market.
I don't run things, so my opinion is irrelevant.
Should have opened with that, limiting me to a single, terse reply:
Then why post?
You asked me *my* opinion and I wrote it.
I asked you to logically reconcile the arguments you've used to support Core, the ones that are mutually exclusive.
That is, if you accept the law of universal noncontradiction, which is the very fundament of classical logic.
I have never asked you for your opinions -- those you've offered unprompted.
There is nothing contradictory. You start with the hypothesis that I don't want blocks increased or that I am a core supporter.
If I am a "core" supporter, then I must, by necessity, support the 1.7mb segwit proposal as a short-term upgrade. So how can it be that I'm in favor of non block increase?
If I am a "classic" supporter, the same for 2mb.
What I've often wrote, and perhaps you haven't seen it, is that I'm not opposed to larger blocks. I'm opposed to the abuse blocks are getting (whether 1mb-2mb-4mb etc). More size = more abuse. Cheaper fees = cheaper abuse. These things go hand in hand and are open attack vectors.
So give more size but increase fees. Alternatively, go conservative with blockchain increases, gradually making fees more expensive as the market itself evicts dust/spam.
