Try this: If e.g. A stock price tested against a barrier two times, will it hold 3rd for sure?

Stock prices follow random walks.  Stock prices are not experiments.  They do not support or disprove a hypothesis.

You don't seem to have a clear understanding of how science works.

I can't imagine living in such a dark, demon-haunted world.

I'm truly sorry you never received a proper education.

kiklo,

The O(n^2) sigop attack cannot be mitigated with Electrum X or by simply buying a faster Xeon server.

As Gavin said, we need to move to Schnorr sigs to get (sub)linear sig validation time scaling.

And AFAIK moving to Schnorr sigs at minimum requires implementing Core's segwit soft fork.

Informed Bitcoiners like Adam Back and the rest of Core plan to do segwit first, because it pays off technical debt and thus strengthens the foundation necessary to support increased block sizes later.
