If you think changing the block size limit from 1MB to 2MB will 'tank the system', you simply don't understand the Bitcoin design at all.
Satoshi designed Bitcoin with no block size limit, he later added a temporary 1MB limit to prevent spam, it was set to 1MB because it was 2010 and the average block size was less than 1k,
he clearly stated this 1M limit was temporary and should be removed in the future.In October 2010, two months before Satoshi vanished he talked about increasing the block size limit, he actually talked about it on this forum:
It can be phased in, like:
if (blocknumber > 115000)
maxblocksize = largerlimit
It can start being in versions way ahead, so by the time it reaches that block number and goes into effect, the older versions that don't have it are already obsolete.
When we're near the cutoff block number, I can put an alert to old versions to make sure they know they have to upgrade.
Satoshi believed block size should increase after block number 115,000.We are now 7 years later at block number 459,111.
Nothing can justify keeping block size limit at 1M.
Stop pretending you're smarter than Satoshi, you're not. This reply alone shows me you don't even know the basics of Bitcoin.
I understand the system well enough and there is no scientific argument that not removing the limit will tank the system. And you have grossly misinterpreted what you have quoted. He did not state the bold and there is nothing in his quote that is such a statement. He said "it can" and then gave an example.
No one else will agree with you that he was saying the exact block that we should change the limit at, you are alone in this, no one wants to be caught lying about a quote like you.
You share the same problem with Lauda: Your mouth keep moving but your brain can't catch up. You are forced to make replies but you run out of things to say, so you try too hard and end up going off on a tangent and become white noises.
I've said and addressed nothing tangential, every point I have made is perfectly relevant. And I am not claiming to be smarter than Satoshi or claiming that Satoshi is wrong in any way. I am pointing out that what you are saying he said isn't the truth, and we can call read that I am correct to point out that your interpretation of what was actually said is bias and untrue.
