IMO the blocksizelimit should be raised or removed altogether. It has been raised before twice and both times not many people cared.
This is the first time I've heard that the max block size limit has been raised twice before. My impression is that Satoshi added it as 1MB and people have debated raising it in the years that followed. Am I wrong? If so, can someone point me to a source.
That "Satoshi" would have either been Jeff Garzik or Gavin Andresen way, way, way after the original Satoshi left. That's why all this debating is nonsense. They're arguing with themselves, don't you guys realize that? Here's an example: Gavin says something like "Satoshi said this and that" and quotes himself when he took his turn as Satoshi. Then he gets his way. Hearn knows this, so he quotes Gavin (as Satoshi) so that Hearn gets HIS way. In the end, they get what they want. So Bitcoiners need to be more aware of what's going on.
Wait. Now I'm even more confused, and I thought I knew the history of this. It was Satoshi who introduced the 1MB block size limit, right? He did in 2010 to help prevent denial of service attacks. I'll see if I can find some sources.
