I say either way "damned if we do and damned if we don't" bitcoin will never be able to meet high volume demands if block size isn't increased. To keep things the way they are (which I prefer) will lead to higher fees and still not be able to meet real growth adoption needs. I don't see how not doing anything will pave the way for future growth. Classic definition of a true conundrum here. Grin

1/ there is on need mainstream adoption to all get what we want here: that is moon.
2/ mainstream adoption of bitcoin by sheeples is highly unlikely anyway, they might use some top layer of it or cheap altcoins.
3/ bitcoin is no pocket money, it is a secured (by decentralized rewarded miners) safe investment haven from them FED/USG/Wall street mafia.

Bitcoin is a privilege that you'll have to pay for eventually.

else just go altcoin with max blocksize and faster transactions.

I suppose that is one way to look at it and is very true at present. I said in an earlier post, that I do not believe now is the time for something like XT.

I for one firmly believe in keeping the purity of the original core. IF mainstream adoption looked more promising, then ya, something would have to give I'm afraid. One of the best things about bitcoin is the inexpensive means to send and receive. So, what do ya do?

it will never be the time for xt bs.

we need to have a core that is as 'unalienable' and 'unforkable' as possible in order to drive its price up.

not like all the current financial system, we dont want to 'QE' its blocksize or even its cap for instance. this is bad and will not drive its price up.

Bitcoin is set in stone, with small improvement that are thoroughly and minutiously investigated upstream by qualified devs.

there is no rush, there have to be a 95% consensus at least and for any major change.

bear in mind that bitcoin is no visa/mastercard/etc, it is not paypal, and this is not a race to upgrade a la Microsoft or Apple.

at some point, when/if there is a quantified demand for it, be sure 2nd layer innovations such as lightening etc will be implemented to relief bitcoin's core.

but do not touch it's very heart, that has to stay as pure and clean from all the noise large adoption would ineluctably bring.

just leave the mainstream propaganda for developing altcoins and other fake dreams.

I agree and think most would also. There has to be a better solution for this issue. It just hasn't been put out there yet. Any fork of the original core is really an Altcoin to me. Then there is that risky fork itself... whew its scary to think about. I'm am afraid all of this is hindering BTC value right now too! Investors and miners don't like uncertainty.

The market WILL price in as BTC has failed, be prepared for ridiculously cheap Bitcorns (or Buttcoins or whatever)....

WAAAAAYYY TOO SOON to call failure.

We just need to stay below 225 for a week without any change in the blocksize drama. Bitfinex 20M USD swaps are ready for action!

break it down! hammertime! blockchain drama!

If XT fails to ignite what becomes of Messrs Hearn and Andresen? Will they be roundly ignored forever, continue chipping away from the sidelines or be grudgingly welcomed back into the fold?

What's that Bitfinex 20M USD swaps? Is it shorting and does how does it effect the price? I saw other thread you were talking about that and I am really interested what you mean. Thanks!

I've never saw you Klee insanely bearish like this !!

We are facing extreme conditions - this will either bring BTC to it's knees or fuel the next mega bubble (above 3000 usd).
I will post a conspiracy theory in P&F thread soon.

Just for the laughs but sometimes the badest taste joke can become true...

I agree with you as I didn't witness such split before and you know the media, wants any bad news to start the party and kick in the fireworks.

But I know you Klee, you weren't joking.

Waiting for the theory.

have Core add a few MB to the limit while they implement blockstream and side chains

they either do that or risk losing the war.

I've said it before, but doing something that has a 0% to undermine the network (which is nothing) is better than doing something with 0.5% or even 0.1% chance to harm the network (XT) in the long term.

0% chance of undermining the network? Really?

"If the cap is not raised to some higher limit; allowing a larger number of users to maintain direct access, then individuals will be priced out of the blockchain. When that happens Bitcoin becomes yet another network with no direct (peer) access; like FedWire, SWIFT, and other private closed transfer networks. There is no realistic scenario where a network capped permanently at 1MB can have meaningful adoption whilst still maintaining direct access to the blockchain by individuals. To be clear, by ‘direct access’ I mean both parties transacting directly on-chain without relying on an intermediary or trusted third party."

https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/permanently-keeping-the-1mb-anti-spam-restriction-is-a-great-idea-946236

I'm not against raising the block limit, but there is not one solution. For the umpteenth time, it is not black and white, not XT or nothing.

Use logic and facts to form your opinion. It's important to not let fear cloud your judgement, nor marry oneself to a particular point of view. Should we rush to judgement based on someone's opinion or weigh all evidence and make the most informed decision possible based on the facts?

poeple are saying Core is going to implement an increased block size its just a matter of how much bigger and exactly how to roll it out.

if true, Bullish as fuck.

So we should expect V. 0.12 in a couple of years?
Bullish as fuck if true.

LOL
hopefully a few weeks...
my guess is if XT starts to gain support, Core will have to act fast.

I see your guessing makes sense and I agree with bassclef as well.
