+I am leaning towards supporting a can kick proposal. Features I think =
+are desirable for this can kick:
+
+0. Block size limit around 2 to 4 MB. Maybe 3 MB? Based on my testnet =
+data, I think 3 MB should be pretty safe.
+1. Hard fork with a consensus mechanisms similar to BIP101
+2. Approximately 1 or 2 month delay before activation to allow for =
+miners to upgrade their infrastructure.
+3. Some form of validation cost metric. BIP101's validation cost metric =
+would be the minimum strictness that I would support, but it would be =
+nice if there were a good UTXO growth metric too. (I do not know enough =
+about the different options to evaluate them right now.)
+
+I will be working on a few improvements to block propagation (especially =
+from China) over the next few months, like blocktorrent and =
+stratum-based GFW penetration. I hope to have these working within a few =
+months. Depending on how those efforts and others (e.g. IBLTs) go, we =
+can look at increasing the block size further, and possibly enacting a =
+long-term scaling roadmap like BIP101.
