Right. If bitcoin can survive the scorn and ridicule of a Brazilian professor, it can survive this little kerfuffle.
I don't know about bitcoin itself, but the bitcoiners' faith in it can survive anything.

Indeed, it has already been used...
However the problem is not the block size per se, but miners skipping the validation of the previous block in order to save a few milliseconds. It is roughly the same reasoning that results in empty blocks being mined while the queues are full. Bigger blocks will make these "optimizations" more tempting, but they are tempting enough even with 1 MB blocks.
Ideally, the protocol should force the miners to validate the previous block(s), and take as many transactions from the queues as possible. Then the block size would not matter, for this issue at least.

Not to ruin the plot... but it's over already. The panic was less than impressive.
Of course. It was just an accident, some core devs were awake watching anxiously the onset of BIP66, the two pools involved cooperated promptly, etc..
That was not an attack: someone just sneezed. See, the building stopped shaking already.

Unlike the fiat system that seems to have contracted Parkinsons.

We can't be sure until it is confirmed that all the pools have stopped SPV mining and upgraded to the latest version of Bitcoin core. I read that whole thread and nobody knows for certain. Here's one post from it that suggests the problem might be fixed, but clearly says nobody knows for certain.
We don't know until an expert posts some conclusive proof that it's fixed.
...
We just need someone to confirm this. I think that everything is fine now, however I can't be sure.

Remember those valiant new core developers, who were defending bitcoin against the fork that the Evil Lords Gavin and Mike wanted? Seems that they now have a little ittyy bitty forklet of their own happening now...
6-blocks deep invalid chain due to some stupid miners not checking blocks and only using headers? Meh. Could be almost anything, just happened to be BIP-66 specific. Blaming it on core devs is disingenuous. The situation has zero similarity with the pandora's shitbox opened by a bunch of fervent Bitcoin-XT fork promoters.
Those scalists, trying to increase capacity to something on par with a regional renaissance festival. For shame.

>> (i have no morals) <<
more droning waffle
Agreed!
If it wasnt for being lumped in with moral-less entities such as this wall of waffle-text posting clown, things would be much more comfortable.
it feels as though a bunch of lonely shut-ins have joined us and claimed us as their own - and there are millions more yet to arrive...
As much as we all want increased adoption, knowing the vast majority of them will be no morals having, life-story repeat-whining d-bags just makes me cringe.
