I didn't cancelled it, my conclusion is that it would be nice that my project don't rely on miner including my project's transactions in blocks to feed bitcoin blockchain, but I should make my own blockchain for my own purpose. You don't have to put everything on bitcoin blockchain, not everything need proof of work, and not all chains are important as bitcoin blockchain.
That's why the Sidechains will be perfect for you.
We still have time and must find a better fix than the current one IMO
What's the problem with this fix? The raise is too big? Or raising the block limit is wrong?
Gold is kind of base money, like bitcoin, it holds value, but isn't transacted so often. For me, best analogy to bitcoin is gold.
What's more precious/valuable? The actual bandwidth used on internet or what's actually going on on internet? The bandwidth is useful indeed because without it the internet would not be possible, but how is that bandwidth used is what brings more value overall.
The probleme with the fix for me is the raise is too big IMO if you want to go for +1.4 per year, you should start from 1, not 20
And metrics should be created to have something that will no need to be forked again and instead of using too much arbitrary numbers
The issue with bandwith used for me is not that it could be used for something more usefull, it's more that having need of big connections for mining will put directly out some places in the world, it will be easier to detect this traffic, and fight against it for ISP or other entities.
Some radio technologie to brodcast the blockchain in funy war scenarios will become difficult to maintain (semi-serious argument, but it gives a certain light)
