New project by JToomim is being developed to bring back democracy to Bitcoin development and honor Satoshi's original vision.This is a copy paste from the JToomim post where he explains it.***The central principles of Bitcoin Classic are twofold:1. Make decisions democratically with user and miner input.2. Keep true to Satoshi's vision of Bitcoin. Scale on-chain capacity to exceed demand as long as it's safe.Point 1 will be implemented via technology like http://bitcoinclassic.consider.it Point 2 will be implemented via blocksize increases and the hard work needed to make them safe. We will be starting with a hard fork option that starts at 2 MB.We will be basing our work primarily off of Core's master branch. Right now we've got a quick prototype https://github.com/bitcoinclassic/bitcoinclassic/pull/1 based on BitPay's 0.11.2-big-blocks version, but we've only invested about 15% of our hours into that branch.The hard fork will be based on Gavin's BIP101 code in order to include consensus detection and some limits on block verification cost (e.g. bytes hashed). Currently, we're using a 2 MB in 2016, 4 MB in 2018 approach, with linear interpolation, but we're open to more specific input from miners and users.Source: https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/4 ... lassic_to/
