right now 1mb has a yearly potential of 52gb.. its been long enough now and we are at no where near 52gb for the total of 6 years. so i see very little reason to increase the blocksize right now.. if anything we should be coaxing the pools to stop delaying adding transactions and to actually start filling all blocks with tx's as they happen..
Why would they do that?
What would they gain?
I have heard of "selfish mining" where a pool has solved a block but did not publish in order to get a head start for the next block(s).
Anything similar to the above?
