jbreher, why then are you promoting an alternate Bitcoin project that today's technology can't deal with? Why are you pushing in a direction that literally could never deal with mainstream adoption before it arrives? You can't have it both ways.
Carlton Banks, I am not. I am pushing BU. Which has an adaptive maxblocksize as an emergent property of the system.
We do not yet know the rate of adoption in the future. For such is unknowable. But with maxblocksize set by the needs of the system itself, it allows us to deal with adoption as it occurs. It frees the system from waiting on core devs to push out a measly 1.8x capacity - which experience hath shewn requires a calendar year of effort on their part -- even after starting years late.
