you 1MB guys get it now?
FFS this is unacceptable
Why do you have to make it so sectarian? Us vs. them? 1MBers vs. the world? The issue we are experiencing
right now and
during the stress tests can be addressed by disincentivizing spam. What's the point of increasing capacity to make room for spam?
increasing the capacity is a way of disincentivizing spam, because it cost so much to have any effect that its not worth it.
Again, you are purely approaching this from the context of block capacity. Spam transactions have existed long before these stress tests came along, and it's a relevant issue in and of itself. Increasing block size limit doesn't disincentivize spam per se -- only in the very limited sense of performing "stress tests", which is a very recent phenomenon. Arguably, increasing block size limit just encourages spam to continue as is, which is not desirable from the perspective of bloat (either the blockchain or the UTXO). If we do not address this, we are merely making more and more room for spam, not simply for transaction volume that is related to adoption. If we need to increase the block size limit, we should still be striving to maximize the efficiency of the network and the decentralization of nodes.
