1) Monero is not impacted by the blocksize scaling issue.

Agreed in the sense that Monero will scale up the block size by algorithm so devoid of the rigor mortis politics plaguing Bitcoin at the moment.

Note that Monero will likely centralize as block size scales up and I even refuted you on the claim that Monero's algorithm to prevent the Tragedy of the Commons can be gamed and thus won't be an absolute defense.

Nevertheless, Monero has a lot of growth ahead before this becomes an issue, especially with the ASIC resistant proof-of-work hash Cryptonite, which will forestall centralization for a while.

If you want to discuss technology further, please reply to this in the Monero Technical thread.
