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.

Since it doesn't seem to have come up again, I will be more definite in my assertions: Satoshi added a 1MB block size limit in 2010. It has never been raised since. It has been discussed many, many times, but it has never been raised.

The debate is acrimonious enough without trying to rewrite the history of what's happened.

Blazr knows the history of what Satoshi posted on this forum very well, he's demonstrated many times in the past that he researches his Satoshi lore very diligently. I would be surprised if he was wrong (for instance, there was apparently a 32 MB limit before the 1MB limit was introduced).

I was trying to say it without sounding insulting to Blazr. He's been here longer than I have. If I'm wrong about the history, I'll admit it and apologize. I think he's probably confusing the block size limit with something else. Memory is imperfect. Regarding the 32 MB, I think that was effectively a limit since that was the size limit on all messages.
