The problem here is you have no idea where the grey area between reasonable and inordinate is, despite having the required knowledge spoon fed to you like a baby ("F2pool's ~1mb tx took 4 min on Electrum server, which would fall behind the network given ~2.5mb tx").

You don't even seem to be aware verification times vary according to the miners' node software and server hardware/network capabilities, nor of the fact such power imbalances may be used maliciously against other miners. Did you sleep through the discussion about the GFOC?

Miners' decisions depend on their local conditions, counterparty obligations, goals, motivations, and levels of expertise, the amount of fees in the blocks, their software/hardware/network configuration/capabilities/limitations, what they expect other miners to do and/or their strategy for attacking other miners (game theory), etc.

It appears you are committed to remaining somewhere other than here in the real world where O(n^2) attacks are a problem, and going to stick with the wishful thinking, hand-waving, and "Because Mining Incentives!" slogan.

Good luck with that!

@iCEBREAKER,

1. Are you suggesting an ENTIRE Coin network block updating to unlimited because YOU claim 1 developer can't update their code to work with BTC unlimited.
Keyword : You Claim,

Because here is what the Electrum Developer said

Voegtlin explained that he has no strong position on the preferred block size limit itself though he regrets that technical discussion has taken a backseat lately.
I am not in a position to tell what the best block size is, Voegtlin said

Plus he has no problem updating electrum for Segwit, which you posers claim can reach ~4 Megabyte block size.
Like the rest of the world update or get left behind. I have no doubts electrum would be updated to work with BU , in short order.

But guess what in the real world when a Vendor is unable to make a product work, we move to a product that does work. Tongue

A much faster version of Electrum Server is now available.
The reimplementation of Electrum Server, called Electrum X is the creation of Neil Booth which he claims to be 10 times faster than the Electrum Server.
