Its great that Indians are thinking about the blocksize issue but this BIP does not have much to contribute.
UpalC proposed this solution in this
sub-forum and then ignored the criticisms to the idea.
Dynamic blocksize is being discussed since atleast 2 years now and he is the first to formalize it. That is appreciated but there is a reason why the devs did not do it 2 years ago -
it doesn't solve the blocksize issue at all, it only just states how to increase/decrease the blocksize & that too in a
pro-centralization manner.
I tried explaining him the issues through every medium I could, but I guess he perceived me as a jealous fellow, so I gave up & backed out. I am still writing this post because many Indians tend to jump over anything "Indian" without considering its merits & that presents a bad representation of my country.
Anyways, all the problems I stated were repeated by
other people when he presented it on reddit and in the dev sub-forum. Again he had no answers and ignored them too.
I would request people to read his BIP and you'll understand a. why this is the most obvious thing anybody can think of (and many people did in fact) & b.Why it doesn't solve the blocksize issue.
If after understanding the issue and also his solution, feel free to jump on the patriotic appreciation band-wagon, but if you do so I'd really wanna know what you liked or what new did he present.
Its is a good proposal . I read the proposal and also
Basically I find this almost like BIP 100 , which sounds better because it does not enforce directly halving/doubling and the rise could be more gradual.
Reddit thread and other responses are mostly positive . Whether the community accepts this or not is a different thing. There is criticsm for every BIP proposal. But we should appericate that it has passed through review mechanism(reviewed by gavin/others) and made it to bips github repository,
If you think you have a better idea, I invite you to submit a BIPS too. Note that some of them are slaughtered brutally on reddit
. If your BIPS is acceppted in github repo, I would gladly sing patriotic praises for you too !
