Their strategy of stalling for the last couple of years is the least intelligent approach they could have taken.

Yes they do, that's the point of Bitcoin.

You mean if PoS works they can fork and use their altcoin.

The fact that you don't understand this leads me to believe you're either a Core shill or you have been seduced by their pretty words. The whitepaper makes all this clear.

The above directly demonstrates how block size results in significant propagation delay.
I ask you again: can you show me the research which demonstrates increasing blocksize won’t result in significant propagation delay?
As I already wrote what matters is propagation between miners which is already very fast, even according your own link, which examins propagation throughout the network as a whole not between miners specifically.
If that’s your idea of research, best of luck to bcash.
I understand big blockers are upset they didn’t get their way. They need to understand the reason big blocks don’t have consensus is that they increase propagation delays and propagation delays leads to centralization. Core devs are pursuing many alternative and intelligent scaling avenues.
Also, miners don’t determine consensus rules. If PoS works, another UASF initiative will arise and everyone running a node can decide the new PoW scheme. The fact that you don’t understand this leads me to believe you don’t have a good understanding of the technology yet.
