what actual costs..
1 MB of data per full block -> 2 MB of data per full block. This equals to 2x increase.
oh i forgot you dont have a real node running on a home computer. you have an online AWS node with only probably 100gb storage
My node is not on any online service. Stop spreading lies.
try splashing out $300 and run a real node for once and be part of the decentralized network. that $300 will last you over 10 years
$300 won't last you 10 years.
Core's official roadmap claims to have Segwit and LN active in April/July 2016 respecitively
Both are false. Core did deliver Segwit in April, but there was no mention of activation by that time. "LN active" is a pure lie. There are other groups that are developing Lightning.
In my opinion, people make way too big a deal about an increase from 1MB to even 2MB, while 2MB blocks don't even hurt anyone (heck, even 20MB blocks wouldn't hurt anyone).
Statements like this one make people ignorant fools by default.
