and if the transaction fees decrease (as a result of block size increasing)

The average block size has been increasing for six years.

Has the average transaction fee revenue increased or decreased over the same period?

Is there anyone in favour of small blocks who has the slightest bit of intellectual integrity whatsoever?

- snip - img - anyone? anyone?

Ya, me. I've been around for years and have been saying the same thing since pretty much day one. I don't own any alts or have any interest in them. I don't take a paycheck from some shadowy group of well funded coders who are making noise about taking over Bitcoin with a 'better' software.

I make a lot of noise about 'sidechains' because subordinate chains which derive their value from Bitcoin are a logical and natural scaling method which actually can work and keep Bitcoin healthy. Possibly the only thing with a hope of doing so in fact.

Speaking of intellectual integrity, when are you going to share your infinite wisdom on the effects of IBLTs on 'natural' blocksizes? I couldn't help notice that you've ignored my comment when I inserted it into your supposedly coherent argument that blocks should remain small even if the max size is raised 'cuz they always have. You are not alone among people who want to remain mum on IBLTs though.
