In this tab, you have chosen some parameters
so if we can agree on parametres, maybe it's possible to find a wait to have the network alone be able to monitor those parameters and auto adjust block size according the parameters of our "best guess", instead of fixed or linear guess value
so our guess will be auto corrected a little bit by reality
We must be clear on this, we can not do it. This is the very problem, we MUST guess. For example, consensus in the future will likely be impossible, in the near future even. And further more it has been shown that a market type solution that "determines" an adjusting size shifts the problem elsewhere. Our hands are seemingly truly tied on this. But its not at all at a loss, the top elite know this is the purpose of this project, its just a matter of explaining it. It simply means bitcoin is not for buying coffee, but for other types of transactions. If we are okay with that, then we have consensus, if it upsets us, then we might not have consensus and the limit must remain 1mb.
This is what I understand the problem to be. But the solution that arises is slightly different than it appears, because there is a difference between our logical conclusion in this dialogue and the truth and reality of when it comes time to "vote". I liken this then to poker, that we can bluff now, and huff about our strategy, but when it comes go/crunch time, time to act, time to fork...each of us must reveal our hand...
If I have outlined this well, then eventually I would like to relevate the solutions/strategies proposed in "ideal poker"...
in other words, if this is in fact a poker problem...I am the best poker player in the world. If we need a credible bluff, I can in fact relevate it.
I fully agree with the purpose of Bitcoin, it's gold that you can cypher, backup, teleport for a network fee that will remain way much lower than transfering physical gold.
It's also eaisier to store and protect.
I agree that having a self correcting guess that auto adjust to follow parameters is switching the issue and risky.
So what, we chose an arbitrary size ? (let's suck my finger and show the sky, for me it's a fixed 5mb)
We chose a block filling treshold, and when blocks are full at x% for x time, we go to the agreed size ?
Because I agree with RoadStress when he say we should think of it now (but we (readers here) are)
But I agree with Davout that say you don't fix something not broken (I would just prefer to fix it when orange light turns on)
