@SatoshiLite Leaving to anyone besides end-users (e.g., miners) creates these principal-agent problems.

@SatoshiLite Behind the scenes the wallet moves their coins to a new address with some sort of vote indicators as part of the Tx
English
@SatoshiLite It seems like there should be a way for users to vote on these things, like having their wallets signal what they want.
English
@SatoshiLite they could also be over-leveraged and can't take the revenue hit

@AlpacaSW ASIC manufacturers, pools, and miners all benefit from status quo, where fees are ~1.5BTC per block. That's 10% of block reward.

No way miners care about long term fees 2 yrs later when current ASICs that they are using will be obsolete in 6 months.

I think miners are supporting BU to block SegWit, thereby keeping status quo, because they are enjoying inflated txn fees due to full blks.

The danger of @timberners_lee's view is that he forgets by baking DRM into standards, the #W3C will cause DRM to spread - and close the Web!

@ryanxcharles I'm sure the miners will get right on supporting that soft fork :)

Very good question. Unless they're paying fees, identity and other apps seem to be freeloading on public blockchains. #mwcdib #MWC17 twitter.com/kieranh_ovum/s…

@elidourado And this is also the solution to "the last 20 feet" delivery problem with self-driving trucks.

I bet the miners love these fees though. Their short-term incentives are to continue to not adopt SegWit. Incentive scheme failure.
English
Even with 2 MB blocks the mempool would take hours to digest. Failure to adopt SegWit having expected effects. Thanks miners. twitter.com/crainbf/status…

Insane. I just paid $25 worth of Bitcoin and the suggested fee was $1.66! That's 6.6%. Who can seriously claim this isn't broken?

Just change how we vote on politicians and/or laws from plurality-wins to approval or range voting. Centrist always wins. twitter.com/paulg/status/8…

Idea: Start a new political party, and only allow a new D to join when you can recruit a new R as well (or vice versa).

@matthew_d_green Do you have kids? They're also good at that.
