You've got it all wrong, just like back when you were suffering under the delusion BIP101 blocks were necessarily being mined by RealXT nodes.

In case you forgot about that, here's a reminder you often assume you know WTF you're talking about even when you actually do not.

Pseudo nodes aren't mining blocks.

Remember that? And then slush came out and disclosed yes indeed, his 101 blocks were being spoofed? Good times! I like the part where you were wrong. Please don't try to (once more) generalize this as me claiming I'm smarter than you; I'm only saying I know how Bitcoin works and you don't. Generic IQ comparisons have little to do with it.

The XTurds haven't forgiven slush for that BTW. They still call him a coward for shutting down the 101 port to avoid more DDOS, while simultaneously begging him to reopen it. How dare he not support their agenda at his expense! Cheesy

Bigger blocks do not provide the scaling ability you're looking for. 8MB or 20MB will do NOTHING to help in the case of actual widespread adoption, which is exactly why it is imperative fee markets be developed ASAP. Even if we tried to make bigger blocks, SPV-type mining incentives would simply create more empty ones and defeat the entire purpose (while still incurring the costs of increased externalities and decreased survivability).

Please move beyond the simplistic 'every-coffee-and-bagel-on-the-Blockchain' paradigm. That POV is so three-years-ago, and was rubbished once and for all by a single domination post.

The true value that Bitcoin brings to the table is not "everyone gets to write into the holy ledger", it is instead "everyone gets to benefit from sane and non-inflationary financial instutions whose sanity and honesty are ensured by the holy blockchain".

Like PR's considerations of spherical blockchains, your voluminous hypothetical nonsense ignores the fact no first mover will ever be able to defect from and thereby subvert Bitcoin's socioeconomic majority. Anyone so foolish will be crushed by DDOS, Gavincoin shorts, and more. Thus, everybody expects everyone else to go first. And of course, nobody does. Game over, newb...BIP000 wins!

We'll get larger blocks when Satoshi said we should - "eventually."

But "I really want them" isn't a good enough reason.

So 'Not Tonight, Dear!'

or "please, please, don't increase block size now because ....?"

Because it's already a hassle to run a full node.
