To do= that, you need to (a) plan forward, in order to (b) set a hard fork date i= n the future.

Or alternatively,= fix the reasons why users would have negative experiences with full blocks= , chiefly:

=C2=A0 * Get safe forms of replace-by-fee and = child-pays-for-parent finished and in 0.12.
=C2=A0 * Develop = cross-platform libraries for managing micropayment channels, and get wallet= authors to adopt
