It doesn't change the fact that what was posted in your trust rating by achow and gmaxwell are not true. Plus it also doesn't change the fact that with bigger blocks, besides making it harder to scale the network up, it also increases/widens some attack vectors against the network for bad actors to exploit. We actually had anti-Core developers who proposed unlimited block sizes, leaving block size regulation to the miners. Does anyone remember Bitcoin Unlimited. Haha. Roll Eyes

“Bigger blocks make it harder to scale the network”

Therefore, we will freeze the block size - which, in fact, CANCELS the network scaling.

Iron logic. Smiley


You mention "network scaling". I believe you didn't truly review your thoughts. Increasing the block size will require more resources from each validating node, it will force some nodes to drop out, and also cause the network to centralize. If you're talking about something else, what I'm talking about is real network scaling. To increase the functionality of the network, WITHOUT sacrificing decentralization, and to let the network continue to expand/scale out/increase in validating node count. Isn't the whole point of Bitcoin censorship-resistance?
