Dear all,

Bitcoin Unlimited=E2=80=99s market-based solution to the block-size =
limit is slowly winning support from node operators and miners.  With =
this increased attention, many people are asking for a better =
explanation of how Bitcoin Unlimited actually works.  The article linked =
below describes how Bitcoin Unlimited=E2=80=99s excessive-block logic =
works from the perspective of a single node. (I=E2=80=99m hoping to do a =
follow-up article that describe how this =E2=80=9Cnode-scale=E2=80=9D =
behavior facilitates the emergence of a fluid and organic block size =
limit at the network scale.)
