I was astonished when I read this 'consensus' code in the Bitcoin repository. I recommend removing it or deploying an old version of the Bitcoin server. It is a reckless and deceitful (how many users actually understand the tacit consent they are granting by running this code?) > conflicting versions of the transaction history for a substantial length of time. Indeed if a new block size is 'forced' with a fork, it essentially creates a new currency. I doubt the new big-block Bitcoin will stand on its own.
