If you didn't mine the block, you are going to validate it. If a malicious miner starts deploying quadratic intensive blocks at higher MB (e.g. 2 MB), they could make you constantly be behind them (hence DDOS).
now your starting to see why segwit hasnt fixed it!!
There is no risk at 1 MB, and with >1MB for Segwit you'd have linear time so it has been fixed in this context.
core have already removed the FEE calculation features such as priority, reactive.. nothing to stop them removing the 4x witness scale factor as soon as segwit is activated.. after duping people into activating it..
maybe you need to read the documentation and code and then think of the long term.. not the temporary sales pitch..
The fee calculation is entirely irrelevant and priority has been mostly unused in ages. You still don't understand why the scale factor was included. Go back to Segwit 101.
because of the tier network preventing old nodes connecting direct to pools, i did * that to say i was baiting you.. i was hoping you would have honestly /integrity to explain why its not an issue.. but you love to hide the bad bits under the rug..
It is still a non-issue.
actually you need to think deeper.. by reducing tx sigops to say 1k and then having 80k blocksigops. without any cludgy maths of pretend counting..
it changes it from being just 5-7 tx to being 80tx to fill a block.
Exactly what would that change? Nothing. You'd disable a lot of use-cases in which these sigops may be needed, in order to make it <20x more expensive to attack the network this way.
my disclaimer was to await your reply to see how practical, critical, and honest you would be .. but you stayed silent by just saying "t does not matter" without explaining why. knowing you would dig yourself a hole should you explain
Ironically you don't explain anything yourself. All you write is "it is x y z".
