Circa 2014 the block size wars took bitcoin by storm.
Eventually after a lot of drama that has been well documented elsewhere (
I made my own attempt documenting a time line of the blocksize wars, its outcomes and conclusions here).
But I'm starting this poll in hopes of getting the community's opinion. So for this post I'll not go through my opinion in the OP.
Please feel free to answer the question in the poll and even better if you can also explain your answer.
Back in 2015, and after the adoption of a compromise in the form of SegWit, [/b]the topic of the block capacity was very taboo[/b].
It wasn't "taboo", ser. It was because there were some people in the community, like Roger Ver, who were trying to turn it into a philosophical debate, and there were developers, like Mike Hearn, who were spread FUD and disinformation, when it was merely a technical debate.
Well, we're in 2023 now, and for different reasons congestion is still an issue. Increasing the capacity of bitcoin blocks could potentially be a solution to the issues of high fees and congestion.
So I think it's worth exploring what people think about this issue. Please share your thoughts below.
That's true, but DYOR. Change one parameter on-chain, and it will definitely affect other parameters that could be used as attack vectors against the network.
