As a full node operator I have a power to reject blocks larger than my threshold of confidence. Core does not even provide the users with such an option which is incredibly selfish of them.
A miner can always reject a block and continue mining on the current block or next block in Satoshi's PoW. That doesn't necessary stop unbounded sized blocks in BU from being the winning block. Read on for why...
As a market equilibrium expert you should know that miners are definitely not going to increase block size to infinity. Even if they wanted to it would be physically impossible due to orphan rate.
The very large blocks are a weapon that the mining cartel can use to bankrupt those who aren't in the cartel. If you had read my upthread explanations, then I wouldn't need to repeat myself.
The orphan rate rate doesn't impact the cartel that wins 51% of the blocks, because they see the winning blocks instantly (whereas the non-cartel miners have to eat the propagation time of those slow blocks and thus the high orphan rate).
Your extreme ignorance of blockchain technology is on display.
But those who have so far been neutral in this debate will most likely choose the side that does not censor opposing arguments (which by the way is a big red sign of weakness).
Gmaxwell was very condescending to me in the past as well and censored my posts numerous times. Core has some arrogance, but they are collectively very darn smart about the technological details. Hey I'd love to kick Core's ass in the market place (and I am actually hoping to do it!). So don't think I am in love with Core.
I am not condoning all the political fighting that has been going on. But personality issues are not a justification to switch to an extremely flawed protocol of unbounded block size.
If you would just realize that I support everything you want in terms of we need a solution to the block size problem. I just don't want you to destroy Bitcoin because you don't know what you are doing. Blockchain technology is complex.
