You made the claim that under &quot;Nakamoto consensus&quot; the consensus parameters are not up for a vote. A correction seemed warranted.<p>&gt; Block size is not a parameter you can force on upgraded nodes by soft-fork.<p>Isn&#x27;t this what the Segregated Witness proposal[1] effectively does? The new limit proposed would be 4MB with an expected confirmed transaction throughput increase on the order of 2x.<p>To quote Pieter:<p>&quot;Another way of looking at it, is that we raise the block size to 4 MB for the witness part, but the non-witness has same size.&quot;<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;diyhpl.us&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;transcripts&#x2F;scalingbitcoin&#x2F;hong-kong&#x2F;segregated-witness-and-its-impact-on-scalability&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;diyhpl.us&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;transcripts&#x2F;scalingbitcoin&#x2F;hong-kong&#x2F;s...</a>
