But simulation by bitfury already indicated that we will have a severe performance problem with 4MB blocks on average home computer

I'd like to see that report. Got a link?

With only several thousand running full nodes now, it seems to me that 'average home computer' is not the limiting issue.

This is the data you are looking for -

here is the simulation test code-

This is an example of a tx that can push validation times to their limit and potentially crash nodes--

There are solutions to this problem and principally why core devs want to roll these out first ... before increasing the blocksize limit on the main tree.


Wasn't that F2P's own transaction to hoover up the coinwallet brainwallet dust?  Its a pretty extreme boundary case, but surely the number of inputs ( and associated resources tied up) are the issue - not the size of the transaction per se. Thats why it got processed with no fees - normally these wouldn't be touched.

edit:  was brainwallet, not coinwallet
