"It looks like that the market is increasingly frustrated with large miners like /u/jihan_bitmain, /u/macbook-air or HaoBTC, who are undecided, stagnating the commercial use of Bitcoin, and ultimately harming the whole community.
I'm still surprised why Bitcoin payment processors like BitPay don't make an outcry, as they are the first ones that suffer from this market choking." - Egon_1
"for a pool in China." - ricw
"I think they've seen the Blockstream light and would like to become one of the major lightning hubs. Remember, LN is a way for non-miners to take fees, and BitPay is uniquely positioned with their existing payment infrastructure." - goatusher
"But they have to use this dynamic and start signaling 2MB support or they will lose credibility as fast as they gained it.
ViaBTC - Please make Bitcoin great again!" - arnili
"threatens to change the PoW algorithm bringing miners to their knees." - blockologist
"Nobody will want to use it, so you can reduce the blocksize to 250k and play with it in a playpen with Luke and your imaginary friends. You can keep insisting that it's the "real bitcoin", and we can ignore you." - homerjthompson_
"and missed out." - DIGITAL-not-Virtual
"The coin where one individual or group can hold a secret key which allows them to alter the money supply without anyone knowing about it until the currency either weakens or strengthens (mostly weakens) - just like the pre-1990s Fed?" - SeemedGood
"want bigger blocks." - Argetoshi
"First Bitmain feigned support which took market share from f2pool. Now ViaBTC may be feigning support for BU to take market share from both of them. Throw slush in there somewhere. Doesn't matter if feigned or real. These feigners are leveraging the big block philosophy until it becomes a reality because deep down they know hashers and the market want it. . Market share will be chopped up decreasing everyone's profits by hungry smaller pools either way until some daring newcomer actually mines a bigger BU block for the fees which will open the floodgates. That pool will be the winner in the new paradigm." - SWt006hij
"Whether fake or real, it demonstrates real support for bigger blocks in the miner community. That helps galvanize the greater community to work together to make it happen. For example, if ViaBTC fails to offer BU mining, a competitor can start offering it and steal that demonstrated BU mining support." - rfugger
"I have two transactions that are stuck / unconfirmed with a ? in bitcoin core client." - noosaurus
"Transaction load peaked in February/March and has not really grown since: http://imgur.com/a/rPkKf
This could mean that bitcoin adoption has peaked as the block size limit has scared investments, development and users away the block size limit already has a direct growth-limiting effect Most likely it is a combination of the two." - BIP-101
"Then, when we hit the halving with no scaling in place in 2016, that's when people really started to back out of putting any VC money, time, and energy into Bitcoin." - 10mmauto
