Hear me out before downvotes:
I would love to stick with the core developers. I keep reading guilt tripping post after post about how everyone else sucks and the core Devs do all the work and so on. I even agree with these statements. That conversation with Toomin was facepalm worthy. But I simply can't understand then why Core is so damn hardheaded about this issue. The blocksize proposals have literally come as low as they can get. It started at 20mb increasing over time to 8gb in the future, then dumbed down because China said 8mb was the best they could do, then it shrank again, then again, and now people are simply asking for a 1mb increase to handle the current increase in traffic and move us forward. Yet to JUST get this compromise we are still forced to hard fork both the development and the blockchain. Everyone says how bad it would be to do this and yet core has not given a millimeter in this so called "compromise"!
Why!? What is 2mb going to do to drastically centralize or destroy bitcoin? Why are we STILL fighting over this and having to oust the entire development team to get any blocksize increase at all?.
The Core developers have it entirely in their power to prevent the move to classic and the risk of having someone like Toomin be in charge of anything. All they have to do is prove that they will listen to the community and the miners. If they increased the blocksize themselves, to the widely agreed upon and clearly not bandwidth straining size of 2mb, this issue would be over.
If the hard fork comes, and the Toomins turn out to be inept and there is some blatant problem with no developers to work on it. I'll find it very difficult not to be mad at Core for letting it happen when the power to prevent it was literally laid in their lap. If Core wants to stay, prove it by actually listening.
