Bitcoin Unlimited makes the process easier by + providing a configurable option for the accepted and generated blocksize via + a GUI menu. Bitcoin Unlimited further provides a user-configurable failsafe + setting allowing you to accept a block larger than your maximum accepted + blocksize if it reaches a certain number of blocks deep in the chain. + + The Bitcoin Unlimited client is not a competitive block scaling proposal + like BIP-101, BIP-102, etc. Instead it tracks consensus. This means that it + tracks the blockchain that the hash power majority follows, irrespective of + blocksize, and signals its ability to accept larger blocks via protocol and + block versioning fields. + + If you support an increase in the blocksize limit by any means - or just + support Bitcoin conflict resolution as originally envisioned by its founder - + consider running a Bitcoin Unlimited client. + ''; + homepage = https://www.bitcoinunlimited.info/; + maintainers = with maintainers; [ DmitryTsygankov ]; + license = licenses.mit; + platforms = platforms.unix; + }; +} -- cgit 1.4.1
