NACK

1.- At some point in time, fees will need to be the the main part of the rew=
ard of miners, so, I do not see any need to lower them. If we keep them fore=
ver low, the network will be less and less secure because of the halvings.
2.- I think this change involves a Hard Fork (please correct me if I am wron=
g). In my opinion, the risk of a HF is not worth it.
3.- And more important for me, If blocks get bigger and bigger it would hurt=
 decentralization which is absolutely key for Bitcoin to be valuable.

iv><div><div>&nbsp;An attacker would have to affect all block fees over the l=
ast 16 hours worth of transactions to affect a 10% max block size increase b=
ut then only after waiting 1.5 hours, so long as nothing has changed in the l=
ast 1.5 hours and only for a limited amount of time. This approach also limi=
ts bloat. This safety block window of 9 blocks provides a look forward and l=
ook behind value, in turn provides the network time to synchronize. <br></di=
v><div>10 block sync window.&nbsp; This, by design, also limits changes to o=
ne change&nbsp; every 3 hours (20 blocks), if there is a market pressure "ST=
ATE" occurring.<br></div><div>My Question to the community is. Will our curr=
ent Block accommodate the 3 Byte <br></div><div>Variable, Is solving the Sca=
ling issue worth using the 3 Bytes of space? &nbsp;<br></div><div>I believe i=
t is. &nbsp;<br></div><div>--<br></div><div>Software, &nbsp;Will need &nbsp;=
to Evaluate MaxBlockSize Variable, and ActivateONBlock Variable from the mos=
t recent distributed blocks DMBS &nbsp;3 byte value. <br></div><div>Run the r=
ules , get the answer set the now known MaxBlockSize Var and Propegate the "=
DMBS" value. <br></div><div><br></div><div>As capacity limits are breached, I=
 think the majority agree "we need to agree". &nbsp;<br></div></div><div><di=
v><br></div><div>MaxBlockSize would provide a suitable middle ground and add=

nbsp;existing security.&nbsp; &nbsp;<br></div></div></div><div>&nbsp;Example=
s reflected in the blockchain 19000A&nbsp; &nbsp;rules has evaluates to&nbsp=

>if true for 9 more blocks&nbsp;

MaxBlockSize

 Var becomes&nbsp; 18000A.. 17000A..,16000A ..and so on if&nbsp; still true a=

o right,&nbsp; 0-no change, in 0 blocks current " DMBS" value 000B or 1.1MB&=
nbsp;

and stays that way&nbsp;

00000B

 until MaxBlockSize&nbsp; evaluates to "True" under a market pressure/ relie=
