Re: Elastic block cap with rollover penalties

Monero avoids this problem, but most of the rest of this proposal has been implemented and running for quite a long time. Its not new, or novel, except in ways that it is not as good.

When Gavin says "I need to see working code", he probably means code he can directly deploy to his test setup within the framework of bitcoin-core. I can relate to this demand and find it reasonable.

It's a polite way to say :"i am not interested in your design, i dont want to analyse it, f**k off. "

I'd be in his position I'd would too ask to see some code or at least some data analysis supporting the design. You can't just propose stuff and expect the people reviewing it to do all the leg work. An implementation at least proves your design is conceptually sound. It's easy to forget certain aspects when you theorycraft, and having to implement at least the PoC certainly motivates you to keep it as simple as possible.
