The measure is miner consensus.=C2=A0 How do yo= u intend to measure exchange/merchant acceptance?

Asking them.

In= fact, we already have. I have been talking to well known people and CEOs i= n the Bitcoin community for some time now. All=C2=A0of them support = bigger blocks, this includes:
  • Every wallet developer I ha= ve asked (other than Bitcoin Core)
  • So far, every payment processor = and every exchange company
I know Gavin has also been talking= to people about this.

There's a feeling= on this list that there's no consensus, or that Gavin and myself are o= n the wrong side of it. I'd put it differently - there's very stron= g consensus out in the wider community and this list is something of an abe= rration.
