So still not one person on the BU side is willing to tackle the faulty assumption that user defined parameters is somehow a good way to signal the economic majority's preferred blocksize to miners, making its one distinctive aspect pretty much worthless.
Maybe you should care to explain why it's a faulty assumption for starters.
Keep up with the thread please.
Two words: sybil attack
A signal can be more or less reliable, miners will analyze their environment like every intelligent human beings are able to do so.
For example :
- transactions are slow because blocksize limit is often hit + nothing suspicous in the nodes activity + a majority of nodes signals their wish to increase the blocksize => miners will choose to increase the blocksize according to the nodes
- blocks are way below the limit + suspicious nodes activity + a majority of nodes signal their wish to increase the blocksize => miners will choose to no increase the blocksize
Basically it's likely that the blocksize will only be increased when it's needed.
