I'd back this if we can't find a permanent solution - 2MB gives us a
lot more wiggle room in the interim at least; one of my concerns
with block size is 3 transactions per second is absolutely tiny, and
we need space for the network to search for an equilibrium between
volume and pricing without risk of an adoption spike rendering it
essentially unusable.<br>
<br>
I'd favour switching over by block height rather than time, and I'd
suggest that given virtually every wallet/node out there will
require testing (even if many do not currently enforce a limit and
therefore do not need changing), 6 months should be considered a
minimum target. I'd open with a suggestion of block 390k as a
target.<br>

<div>The general intent of this BIP is as a minimum viable
alternative plan to my preferred proposal (BIP 100).</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>If agreement is not reached on a more comprehensive
solution, then this solution is at least available and a known
quantity. A good backup plan.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Benefits: conservative increase. proves network can
upgrade. permits some added growth, while the community &
market gathers data on how an increased block size impacts
privacy, security, centralization, transaction throughput and
other metrics. 2MB seems to be a Least Common Denominator on
an increase.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Costs: requires a hard fork. requires another hard fork
down the road.</div>
