We've been getting full blocks all day.  Armstrong may be right that a HF in 2017 is too little too late.

wheres brg444 when you need him

full blocks != end of the world

I agree, but it could = the end of this rally. Or every rally from here on out.

so long as the full blocks are temporary so is this effect
and speculation that it's only temporary should further reduce this effect.

the blocks are full, full of crap ... or else fees would be rising, crap doesn't crap for fees.

blocksize will go up when the technology allows for it.

Decreased bock-writing utility is supposed to make the price go up? How does that work?

Reader, open this site:
https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/

Watch the Latest Transactions for while...:
Come back and tell me those are crap. Also, tell me we have no competition in this arena.

The technology allows for it today.

(If you're me: Gently weep at the difference in post quality from the Marcus of yesteryear.)

look here https://tradeblock.com/bitcoin/tx/1955f713c09279da01e71c169d9888d8d03aaf4814a4324acbb515b5e8a33f0c

this one like most, has 2 outputs

when you send 0.1BTC from a 10BTC address, the 1 TX generally goes like: send 0.1BTC out, and 9.9BTC back to an address i own, and that shows up as a TX totaling  10BTC.

its mostly "spam" aka poeple gambling on dice games and such.

@marcus_of_augustus, saying that these TX do "crap" for fees doesn't sound right seeing how they account for ~90% of the total fees miners collect on each block.

If there is strong community support, the hard-fork activation will likely happen around July 2017.

~not tonight dear... Grin

 Grin Grin Grin

Blockstream is never to be underestimated. They literally didn't move an inch and everyone is circle jerking "the great compromise"... incredible. What a wet noodle the miners turned out to be... so much for that childish delusion I used to hold.

This is the company that tried to patent Hot Wallet for heaven's sake!

No, wait. Wrong company. My mistake. Embarrassed

You misunderstand me. I could give a shit less what Brian Armstrong and Coinbase do. They have a $10,000 "Balance limit" on their exchange... seriously??

Thankfully they haven't captured Bitcoin, and aren't dictating its roadmap. Rest assured I would concern troll them just as vigorously if they did.

Church, homie!

Watching fatty lose his principles for a $20 $19 $15 relief rally was the hardest part.   Cry

The threat would be the change in management. Seems like that ought to be enough.

There is going to be a change in management no matter what. Wladimir's insistence on near unanimity means Core will not ratify this agreement under current rules. If they stick with the rules, Core itself is out on it's ass. 

Blocks are full now. This needs to happen toot sweet or we face either stagnation or network congestion failure.  Core had time to deal wit this. they squandered it.  Now they are under the gun and have no one to blame but themselves. 

Here's a thing: Core is working on things like confidential transactions and stealth BIP's. Do you think Armstrong and company have any interest in privacy?

Of course not, but scaling is more urgent. 

That's a judgment call I'm not prepared to make.
