Title: Decrease overall difficulty would solve the scaling problem? Post by: Znkbh on January 05, 2018, 03:59:32 AM Hi, I'm new to cryptos so my question may be stupid.
To face the scaling problem, why don't we decrease overall difficulty to generate blocks more often? Bye, Znkbh. Title: Re: Decrease overall difficulty would solve the scaling problem?

Theoretically, the new block of Bitcoin should be added every 10 minutes. If the miners will add blocks more often, the current difficulty will be re-calculated and, of course, be increased.Title: Re: Decrease overall difficulty would solve the scaling problem?

If you're going to increase the block interval, you will be having the same effect as Bitcoin Cash, which increases the block size. This doesn't solve the problem with the storage and bandwidth issue but it would just introduce another problem with the hard fork. |
