That's funny about the debate. Both sides accuse the other of changing the rules. Large-blockers want to increase a parameter in the code. And small-blockers want to change Satoshi's implicit plan of increasing it as necessary.
- makomk 11y agoSatoshi's assumptions in the early days about how easy it would be to make major changes to Bitcoin have very little relevance now that it's in widespread use. I think he was also planning to re-enable the disabled opcodes and various other things that are unlikely to ever happen because they'd cause a hard fork.
- Hermel 11y agoThe opposite is the case. Satoshi's assumptions are relevant as they are the basis for the expectations people have. Departing from these visions is what upsets a lot of users, and rightly so.
