I wonder why we dont follow hardware for computing block sise cap ?

Ssd drives tend to double size every two years

We could double block cap every two years worth of blocks

So we don't have to fork next time, and we don't go x20 in one tine

The limiting factor is bandwidth, not storage. Bandwidth costs for running a full Bitcoin node are far more than storage costs. Also, Bandwidth, according to the most often quoted estimate, grows by 50% per year, versus nearly 60% for storage and cpu processing. Gavin's proposal has the block limit grow by 40% per year.


Yeah, give people enough rope and they will hang themselves:
