The forbidden GIF: Unblocking of the stream via emergent consensus
This is a simple animation to visualize how the network's block size limit could be increased through a completely decentralized process with Bitcoin Unlimited.
When enough "forking pressure" builds, individual nodes defect from the historical 1 MB consensus, setting their personal block size acceptance limits higher. A new consensus forms at a higher limit (e.g., 2MB) with the help of signalling. When miners are confident that the economic majority will accept larger blocks, they begin to relieve the pressure by increasing their generation limits and producing larger blocks.
The Core devs cannot hold back the invisible hand of the market.
