There's no such thing as proper fee, even if everyone paid 1 bitcoin as fee there's simple not enough room, a good percentage of transactions will take hours or days to confirm, plus no more growth,
Yes there is. If you include a fee that is smaller than the recommended fee then you risk the transaction not being included in the first blocks. You can't blame Bitcoin for this. Usually when people complain about transactions that take a unusually long time, it is because of an low fee (or worse: no fee at all).
Dude, this is not rocket science, if you have 10 spots and the cost is 1 to fill a spot and you have 100 people paying 1 there's still only 10 spots available, if 50 people pay 2 to get a spot still 10 spots available, if 30 pay 3, still 10 spots, it means there's always 90 people waiting, it doesn't matter how big the fee is.
we are at maximum capacity and two more months of stagnation, there's your road map!
Wrong. We are definitely not at maximum capacity. Take a look at the last 30 blocks. If I have counted this correctly (up to block 399230), there have been only 16 blocks that could be considered full (900kb+). There is still adequate room to deploy solutions. Classic is a joke. Gavin insists on a very foolish and short grace period. Even Garzik is suggesting a 3 to 6 month grace period. You can't deploy a HF with proper rules as quickly as you can deploy Segwit (if it arrives in April).
And if bitcoin never scales it will be always like that, because people will stop using it because the system is not reliable.
Like I said, damage is already done, block size increase should have happened months ago, people wanted to show who's in charge by pushing their way no matter the cost, it's done, they're the bosses now, good for them.
BTW, transaction fees are actually lower now, the struggle is for fast confirmations because there's no space in blocks.
