Title: [Poll] 8 MB Scaling up a little less than Nielsen's Law consensus! Post by: Spjuth on June 01, 2015, 09:18:29 PM Seems that we can come to a consensus on the block size limit/scaling! Sounds great to me, what do you guys say!

Post by: neurotypical on June 01, 2015, 09:26:34 PM What would this solve? When will we do once we reach 8MB limit? what wil we do once we reach 20MB limit? are we just buying time with this?

When will we do once we reach 8MB limit? what wil we do once we reach 20MB limit? are we just buying time with this? No it will scale automatically with Nielsen's Law (a little less to be sure). So a little less than 50% per year. http://www.nngroup.com/articles/law-of-bandwidth/ So one year from implementation it would be 12MB, a year after 18MB and so on.

Increasing the blocksize now is a solution that will buy enough time for people to come up with a better solution for this issue when it actually becomes a problem.Title: Re: [Poll] 8 MB Scaling up a little less than Nielsen's Law consensus!

I will automatically increase by almost 50% each year, to follow bandwidth. "Scaling up a little less than Nielsen's Law of Internet Bandwidth predicts for the next 20 years? (I think predictability is REALLY important)." Title: Re: [Poll] 8 MB Scaling up a little less than Nielsen's Law consensus! Post by: achow101 on June 01, 2015, 09:47:13 PM What would this solve?

This one is about increasing the max block size in a way that no one can reasonably complain about. There will also be many off blockchain solutions to this. But we should not discuss one solution against the other, they are all needed. Title: Re: [Poll] 8 MB Scaling up a little less than Nielsen's Law consensus! Post by: Lauda on June 01, 2015, 09:55:44 PM Stop making so many threads about this!
This discussion is becoming a mess and branching out into several threads. It should be more organized. Some of the previous ones (you will find some useful posts there; disregard thread titles): https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1076024.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1075323.0 https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1074701.0 Update: Also stop with the 20MB FUD. 20MB blocks were suggested by Gavin only because he made flawed calculations. It should be 8MB. Title: Re: [Poll] 8 MB Scaling up a little less than Nielsen's Law consensus! Post by: Cruxer on June 01, 2015, 10:00:36 PM 20 MB blocks will be better, will last for longer and less consensus nightmare in future
Title: Re: [Poll] 8 MB Scaling up a little less than Nielsen's Law consensus! Post by: unamis76 on June 01, 2015, 10:30:31 PM Yes, this is exactly what we need! Scalable blocks. We can still swtich to 20mb and then activate scaling, I think. It should be tested on a testnet first...
And scaling isn't buying time, it's forever adaptable. |
