Dash is safely scaling to 300+MB while Bitcoin can't even get to 2MB

[RoommateAgreement]

no one has ever bothered to do a spam attack (or the pretty word: stress test) dash or any other altcoin.

Are you kidding me? XRP, ETH, and many other coins have suffered spam attack multiple times before.

Bitcoin is special, but not so special as you claimed.

no they have not. maybe someone did a very short period of spam attack as a test for a couple of hours once, but none of them experienced any real spam attack.

and don't confuse a spam attack with a simple increase in number of transactions because price is pumping or dumping and people move their coins in a panic to sell them.

Though Bitcoin has been mentioned in OP, this is obviously a discussion about an Altcoin. Shouldn't be here.

I guess it doesn't hurt to do that when you have to pay so much to have a working and paying Masternode.

Whoever has the cash lying around to run those doesn't care so much about space issues.

DASH number of unique transactions per day:  about four thousand.

Bitcoin confirmed transactions per day:  about 230 thousand.

In other words, Dash is claiming to be able to safely scale to 300MB blocks but so far we have no prove of it. Is there a Dash testnet? Have there been any stresstests so far?

Exactly. And no, not even a stresstest could reveal the real implications of 300MB blocks. Stress tests typically last some hours or at most some days. But most people forgot that in Bitcoin-based currencies all full nodes must validate the entire blockchain, that means - in a 300-MB-scenario - weeks of downloading and validating blocks with high CPU/RAM load. It's not only done downloading and storing it, that would be the least concern.

The only coin that is somewhat "proving" that a higher blockchain capacity is possible is Ethereum because of their high transaction load in the past months, but the differences with Bitcoin are not very high.

spread your bet into both
on-chain scaling with big max block size: DASH 
segwit and lightning network: LTC
for bitcoin, we should be getting segwit soon as well.

Hasn't Ethereum actually showed that they too have scaling issues? Or are you talking purely blocksize?

yeah. they're not exactly knocking out of the park. exchanges had to shut down ethereum movements because of overload. bitcoin's never had that problem and never will.

That's the reason also why on 1st of August Segwit2x will be happen and it says that the bitcoin will now get 4MB. I guess is that so and if it totally happens maybe the transactions will now be get better than before, let us hope that it will be because it's the upgrade to the system of blockchain.
