Subject: Re: [bitcoin-dev] Increasing the blocksize as a (generalized) softfork.
Date: Sun, 20 Dec 2015 23:23:32 -0500	[thread overview]

I proposed something very similar 2 years ago:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=283746.0

This is an interesting academic idea. But the way you implement it will 
immediately kill all existing full and SPV nodes (not really dead, 
rather like zombie as they can't send and receive any tx).
