My transaction was not included in the last 2 blocks which were 912.39 KB and 976.54 KB big.  The larger one was only 12 minutes long.

I used the recommended fee size.

Yeah the 1MB blocksize is just fine Tongue

Us nerds think this is some kind of "Duel of The Fates", but really it's a disagreement between the old guardian of Bitcoin , who's used to get things done, and the brilliant people he brought in to replace him, who's used to pulverize responsibility by dragging processes out until there's consensus. Or not do anything and pretend it's everyone else's fault. I'd love consensus on this thing, but it scares me that these guys would rather drag Bitcoin through the mud than make a decision. Bitcoin has a market cap of 3-4 billion usd atm. When it's 300-400 billion usd everything is going to be controversial. Everything is going to be difficult.

Keep in mind, for a smalll block proponent, no changes to blocksize are desirable. From that perspective, the status quo is fine and the standard fee will simply need to increase. If it's uneconomical for you to put your transactions on the blockchain, too bad.

yes, status quo is just fine and people will just go use Square Cash or write checks.

relegating bitcoin use to int'l money transfers and transactions with shady individuals (aka buying drugs online)
