Also, if your plan is still to make it as cheap as possible for people to run nodes.

The plan is to keep it permissionless.
At the current level it we have already maxed out average home connections.
What's your plan?

To not make it twice as bad by maxing out the blocksize too.

We maxed out both the current 1MB block size limit and the average home internet connections at the same time.
There is nowhere to go at the moment if you are willing to preserve the fundamental properties of the network.

Bitcoin is the biggest network of its kind for now that allows you to have full access to the blockchain from an average household PC and internet connection.
That's the whole purpose it was created in the first place.

FTFY

Having access to the blockchain =! Running a node.

The key word is "permissionless" access.
The home networks are ubiquitous and are even raised to the status of the "basic human rights" in some countries.

I think it is time for this thread to die.

Not one poster here (on either side of the debate) was convinced of an opposing opinion, which is hardly surprising.

See you on the next topic.

Pretty much.
I'm glad that rushing for the (e)X(i)T has finally stopped.
Let's see what other surprises Bitcoin has prepared for us. Cheesy
