The general intent = of this BIP is as a minimum viable alternative plan to my preferred proposa= l (BIP 100).

If agreement is not reached on a more= comprehensive solution, then this solution is at least available and a kno= wn quantity.=C2=A0 A good backup plan.

Benefits: = =C2=A0conservative increase. =C2=A0proves network can upgrade. =C2=A0permit= s some added growth, while the community & market gathers data on how a= n increased block size impacts privacy, security, centralization, transacti= on throughput and other metrics. =C2=A02MB seems to be a Least Common Denom= inator on an increase.

Costs: =C2=A0requires a har= d fork. =C2=A0requires another hard fork down the road.
