📝 Original message:I like your suggestion for the continuity and it gets us up to 2 MB in the
shorter term. Also I just noticed the math error.
Here is a revised spec (incorporating suggestions from Chun Wang):
Specification
* 1 MB, height < 210,000;
* 2 MB, height 210,000 < 420,000; (when 75% of last 1,000 blocks signal
support)
* 4 MB, height 420,000 < 630,000; (year 2016)
* 8 MB, height 630,000 < 840,000; (year ~2020)
* 16 MB, height 840,000 < 1,050,000; (year ~2024)
* 32 MB, height >= 1,050,000. (year ~2028)
