I think this highlights that even though a majority of users are disappointed with the slow progression of the Core roadmap, they are still confident of the Core team's competency as developers.

Looks like it's slowly changing though. I believe the confidence in Core has been slowly eroding. Not sure what they can do to fix this because there has been so much drama in the past year, that it's really harmed them and has put a spotlight on alternatives such as Bitcoin Unlimited.

I think that has less to do with their competency as developers and more with their lack of consideration to the community's desires.

In my humble opinion, part of being competent is taking into consideration the community and their needs.

Yeah, it is. Change takes time, and people have to have a good reason to actually change in the first place. The high fees, slow confirms, is really starting to hit home to many people recently. Even BitPay said yesterday they are changing their minimum payment amount due in part of the high fees. https://blog.bitpay.com/minimum-invoice/

Word!

But Bitcoin Core IS the "original Bitcoin" so perhaps they just have confident to Satoshi and he's ability to scale up.. I know if he still was around he would have had an very easy and safe fix.. (But i think an extra blockchain, somewhat the properties of an altcoin, but used only to verify transaction on a 3rd party basis..(Some can choose to use ....*.org's 3rd party blockchain for fast verification, other can use **.com's 3'rd party blockchain and so on as it have to centralised by an "authority" that works as Visa or mastercard does for Fiat money!

It will not affect Bitcoin(at all) and it can make some site admins offer bitcoin payments fast as they trust the 3rd parties to charge back the customers and so on if the transaction never are confirmed on the regular Bitcoin Blockchain... This will also make for an even greater fee market(that is even more decentralised) and more trust to altchains in general!

And this anyone can start whenever they want without any miners voting for their proposal!

Anyone wants to start a "think tank" for this idea? Let me know!:)

I think if Satoshi were still around he would probably just bump the blocksize limit to 2mb and continue on. I also think that this sort of unilateral action is why Satoshi disappeared. If Bitcoin is to be a success, governance issues like this need to be worked through, and I don't blame Satoshi for wanting no part of that, as politics isn't any intelligent person's idea of a good use of time.

That is true, raising it step by step will make the process a lot smoother, not scaling before hometech is ok with it:)

what does a "most recent bitcoin node" mean?

Most recent nodes are just the count of the most recent full nodes that are accepting connections from other nodes (opened port 8333). I changed it to check 1000 of the most recent full nodes.
