This doesnt give anyone a chance to upgrade and would caus= e a hard fork the moment a miner created a >1MB block. Flag day (hard fo= rk) upgrades must start the change at a sufficient time in the future (grea= ter than the current block height) to give all nodes the chance to upgrade.=

Here is a revised spec (in= corporating suggestions from Chun Wang):

Specification

* 1 MB, height < 210,000;
* 2 MB, height 210,000 < 420,000; (when 75% = of last 1,000 blocks signal support)
* 4 M= B, height 420,000 < 630,000; (year 2016)
* 8 MB, height 630,000 < 840,000; (year ~2020)
* 16 MB, height 840,000 < 1,050,000; (year ~2024)
* 32 MB, height >=3D 1,050,000. (year ~2028)=
