now that #1 argument is deemed invalid lets talk about #2
2) Currently average block size is less than 0.4 mb now that the stress test bullshit is over. Gonna be a long time until we even hit the 1 mb limit.
we are hitting the 1MB limit on the majority of block right now.
the proof:
https://blockchain.info/ look at the block size on the last 6 blocks mined
the average block size seems low because sometimes a miner puts out a block with like 10KB and pools seem to be limiting themselves to 900ish KB not 1024KB
