[August 30, 2015] Block Size and Hard Fork Dialog

This thread is open for discussion on block size and hard forks.

New submissions regarding block size and hard forks are not permitted at this time, so unless you have very substantial news to share, post your questions and comments here. Please read the following guidelines before proceeding:

  • There's a new subreddit guideline in the sidebar. It reads:

    >Promotion of client software which attempts to alter the Bitcoin protocol without overwhelming consensus is not permitted.

  • Discussing the merits and drawbacks of BIP 100, BIP 101, BIP 102, Pieter Wuille's BIP ??? and other proposals is encouraged.

  • Themes regarding hard forks in general, such as what happens when they occur, how to ensure the fork is successful, and how the bitcoin network can react to hard forks which are potentially hostile, are open for discussion.

  • Avoid personal attacks and emotionally charged arguments.

  • No meta discussion.

  • Stay on topic.

There's been a lot of great discussion so far. Let's avoid falling back into voting cliques. They harm the discussion and will have no impact on the outcome of this debate.

  • Don't downvote an otherwise acceptable post because you don't personally like it. Think before you downvote and take a moment to ensure you're downvoting someone because they are not contributing to the community dialogue or discussion. If you simply take a moment to stop, think and examine your reasons for downvoting, rather than doing so out of an emotional reaction, you will ensure that your downvotes are given for good reasons.
