I mean.. we're really trying to have rational discussions about scaling and security yet some of you are ignorant of some of the most basic innerworkings of Bitcoin.

Then you wonder why no one cares or value your opinion...

bitcoin does not currently compress blocks for propagation in anyway.

do you think we should explore this idea, or should we stick to 1MB limit because fees?

"most basic innerworkings"

is that an oxymoron?

Bitcoin does not currently propagate blocks in their full size, only the tx hashes so your idea is not in touch with how Bitcoin network currently works.

The p2p protocol presently only supports propagation of solved blocks in full; i.e., blocks are not compressed.

so which is it?
