I know Bitcoin Unlimited became the BCH full-node client. But is there a software fork of the "Bitcoin Core" client that signals a desire for larger blocks on BTC itself. Without stripping out some of the innovations that the BTC devs have actually come up with.

Here's what Satoshi had to say about raising the block size limit Here's what Satoshi had to say about raising the block size limit You could have a whole bunch of conditions such as:

X% of the previous Y blocks mined must have signaled for larger block sizes AND the blockheight must be over Z etc, AND transaction fees previous Y blocks must have exceed the mining rewards from the previous Y blocks. Because I run a Full BTC, and a lightning node, and a BCH node, and a Monero node, and a Litecoin node, and a Dogecoin node. It all runs on a single server on less than $1000 worth of hardware.

I'm not a fan of the way the BCH hardfork went down. I actually think we need layer-2 scaling solutions, but at the same time, just trying to manage my lightning channels with small blocks is an absolute nightmare.

I like BCH, it's actually usable. But the whole Bitcoin economy is so fractured. You have people who don't use BCH, and you have people who don't do Lightning. Or they don't do Litecoin, or they don't do Monero. I don't HODL much BCH, it's done nothing but lose value compared to BTC, but it's actually usable.

I don't want to see another contentious hardfork like the BCH hardfork, but I want to signal my desire for larger blocks. I understand the small block arguments, but like what about 2MB? Some breathing room PLEASE, even if I know the block size increase is 3 years away. A little hope for the future of Bitcoin. $20 transaction fees are insane.

Is there some way of signaling a desire larger blocks with a software fork of Bitcoin Core kinda like the old BTC-Unlimited or BitcoinXT?
