Current gasLimit in kovan network is 7000000, however the spec.json tells me a different story:
https://github.com/paritytech/parity/blob/master/ethcore/res/ethereum/kovan.json#L51
0x5B8D80 = 6000000
So, where is most updated spec.json
I do agree. Gas limit in the current spec is not the same as on netstats http://authorities.kovan.network
gas limit increased (after this comment? https://github.com/paritytech/parity/issues/7065#issuecomment-344910090) but the spec is not updated
That's the genesis gas limit, only relevant to the block 0.
How did they increase gas limit then? @5chdn in parity each nodes' settings?
yep, gas limits change over time as the sealers change it slightly per block
What happened now? it moved back to 4700000 ?

@rphmeier @5chdn
@ddorgan can we increase the block gas limit on Kovan?

@5chdn please reopen the issue

We are on it, Roman, stay tuned for new releases this week with PoA and Kovan fixes. See #7080 for progress.
