You've got a great career in politics. Fantastic talent at avoiding the issues. I would wait around for an actual reply, but I know you don't have one. At the end of the day, there's going to be a fork and for all your mindless bleating, you're going to come quietly in the end.

I'm not "avoiding the issues."

I'm sick of your "herp derp cheap 1TB hard drive" canard.

The issue with 20MB blocks is bandwidth, not expensive storage.

When we raise the issue of bandwidth, you deflect with 'ZOMG BUY A NEW HARD DRIVES' and I'm not having it any longer.

Exactly what block size the network can support is very much debatable.

There should be more rigorous study of the actual limits of the network.

I'm still worried about the capabilities of typical Internet connections, and especially how they'll increase over time

30 kBps upload is common in Australia, and you sure should be able to run a full node in a typical internet connection in Australia, or Brazil, or Philippines, or whatever. The block size needs to be useful for the (lowest reasonable) common denominator, not the median.

Perhaps I'm giving you too much credit. Maybe you and RoadStress don't even understand the difference between storage and bandwidth.

That would explain a lot. Wink
