I din't think that the problem of block size will be resolved so easy. The main core developer (Gavin Andresen) it is supporter of "another" bitcoin. With him even another charismatic developer as Jeff Garzik. The others remaining at bitcoincore are unknown people and with less contributes in the actual bitcoin (as it is actually). I don't see any point in which these two groups can be together.

This is just nonsense. Gavin is far from being 'main core' developer. The group that is working on Bitcoin Core is much bigger and more skilled than the one working for Bitcoin Classic.

with what i see from bitcoin developers until now, i say block size debate is not going to be solved this easily and it will take a very long time. because of that i vote block halving to be first.

Even if they make a decision right now, rushing to deploy it is dangerous. Hard forks need time.

I din't think that the problem of block size will be resolved so easy. The main core developer (Gavin Andresen) it is supporter of "another" bitcoin. With him even another charismatic developer as Jeff Garzik. The others remaining at bitcoincore are unknown people and with less contributes in the actual bitcoin (as it is actually). I don't see any point in which these two groups can be together. Every each of those has already its bitcoin and is working for it. So, according to me, not only before halving but even to much time after halving there it will not be a solution of this problem. Being not a technician (devs or programmer) cannot be able to tell if this division (if can be successful both variants of bitcoin) could affect the halving but normally not. It would be the the halving of the bitcoin of today and not of the bitcoin classic. Anyhow if both are bitcoin and have the same code and development (except the block size) can (or must) be even the halving of the other one. Anyhow this is not something that is much important for this thread so have no meaning to be analyzed more.

Block size increase will happen after the halving. Because the the debate is ongoing for many months and there is no quick solution at the moment. But halving is planned on the timetable.

the halving sounds like a Stephen King novel

the roadmap is telling me that the segwit thign will be implemented in april, so i say the block size, unless i'm missing something

if you mean the normal increase to 2mb, this is not going to happen in any case already

Shit, did I leave the stove on?

I think we will get first the halving and then the block size adjustment will follow. I hope these events will cause the price to increase

We need "consensus" for the block size debate to be resolved. I wouldn't put my money on that happening any time soon.
So I would go for halving.

Halving first, then blocksize solution. At this point it seems to be that a solution for blocksize will not be found until it really becomes a problem, sadly. Hope that is the other way around.

The halving will probably come first, but that doesn't mean we won't have a capacity increase. SegWit is supposed to come out in April, which is two months before the halving. SegWit will bring with it some capacity increase.

Of course halving will hit us first. Seeing how majority of miners (Chinese side) already decided to stick with standard bitcoin core and don't upgrade anything I see no way how we can see bigger blocks anytime soon.

An interesting question. The halving is one thing that does seem to be agreed upon so that's likely to be first. I'd be happier and feel more positive if it was vice versa but that's life.

I think the halving will happen before the block size thing gets resolved. The block size arguments have dragged on for month after month, and there are so many stake holders involved that reaching consensus could drag on for another year. It could be quickly resolved if somebody devises a coding solution that's so brilliant everyone immediately accepts it, but I don't think anyone will.

If history is any indication, then the halving will first commence.
