no - dont do that - wait for the release of sigwit in the core. its already in testnet, this IS HAPPENING NOW.

Here's the scoop. There are 2 core devs that are basically paid lobbyists for Blockstream. In Washington, politicians make decisions based on who is contributing to their campaigns, often times not what is in the best interest of their constituents.

The same is true in Bitcoin, devs making engineering decisions that are in the best interest of Blockstream, not the wider community. 1MB blocks serve Blockstream, 2MB blocks serve the greater good of Bitcoin.

conspiracy theory.

Segwit by itself does not scale Bitcoin enough. An increase to two megabyte does more for scaling and is far less complex to implement. Segwit will also take to long to implement and it should not be rushed. The blocksize should be increased sooner rather then later in order to avoid the FFM event as Jeff Garzick has described and warned us about. Segwit can always just be implemented when ready and more thoroughly reviewed in the future. An increase to the blocksize can be done now, and so far it is the only real way to scale the Bitcoin blockchain directly and significantly.

Contentious hard forks support themselves only with the tyranny of the majority.
