We just saw a hard-fork happen because we ran into previously unknown scaling issues with the current codebase. Why follow that up immediately with yet another jump into unknown scaling territory? I suspect the PR fallout from another chain split, let alone multiple splits, will be far damaging to Bitcoin than stories along the lines of "Gee, actually it'd kinda expensive to do a Bitcoin transaction these days due to all the competition. I dunno, I guess it must be really popular and valuable or something?" Lets let the issue rest for a while, and we can all have some time to work on our various approaches to solving the problem. The worst that will happen is growth temporarily slows - hardly a disaster I think. --=20 'peter'[:-1]@petertodd.org --ZoaI/ZTpAVc4A5k6 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: Digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRPwLSAAoJEH+rEUJn5PoET/gH/j7kReL9spCIRt26sO7mKoRs N82OWDj0M/is8ssADiss4oLDlbtSfEC2hrTu9Teshhxm7XNVepiDFTFztVG5F3vf PzOqYN9A1VrqgGnsOrXFnlv39v9KFWkB74w+itZyYFdXx5LyETNlATpxvBfMtcG6 b3Ql4K2DaBsMlclbpDxff4VwJU3wS09nXu4LfgFRQTcL9H9Hn6dnqAgHZfKiEsUK fJuBXUO/Sk5lvo8lktEud39isF6n379N9sBwB3Nzo1vEq7XZeZjVyG8gZ+IDTEvB QryCd+BFRhDXlvHBjcuZnB/YKBsPXha72hmsUgrn3XeLLlYLeiQN4IvTdCMvyaY= =Wx97 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --ZoaI/ZTpAVc4A5k6--
