+# Continue current economic policy.
+# Exercise hard fork network upgrade.
==Specification==
-# Maximum block size permitted to be valid is 1MB.
-# Increase this maximum to 2MB as soon as 75% of the last 1,000 blocks have signaled support.
+# MAX_BLOCK_SIZE increased to 2,000,000 bytes at trigger point.
# Increase maximum block sigops by similar factor, preserving SIZE/50 formula.
+# Each 10-minute segment thereafter increases MAX_BLOCK_SIZE by 20 bytes.
+# Trigger: (1) Block time 00:00:00 on flag day, AND (2) 75% of the last 1,000 blocks have signaled support.
==Backward compatibility==
-Older clients are not compatible with this change. The first block exceeding 1,000,000 bytes will partition older clients off the new network.

==Discussion==
-In the short term, an increase is needed to continue to facilitate
-network growth, and buy time for more comprehensive solutions to be
-developed. This continues the current economic policies with regards to
-fees, matching market expectations and preventing market disruption.

-In the long term, continued direct management of this limit is a moral hazard that clouds free market input and prevents a healthy fee market from developing. This area of code should be transitioned away from direct management.
+In the long term, this limit should focus on reflecting the maximum
