Right now Bitcoin's price is rallying and block are full. According to blockchain.info backlog of unconfirmed transactions is 11.6 MB right now and as far as I know there is now spam or stress test going on. How worse does it need to get?

Bitcoin addresses contain a checksum, so it is very unlikely that mistyping an address will cause you to lose money.

Well, we were expecting thermonuclear war, so this seems pretty good so far. |

i have not been into all this bitcoin stuff for so long , but from all i read so far , i cant realy see why so much people are hating on bigger block sizes. Becuse all i can see and hear right now is that bitcoins would benfit from it a great deal. |

It is frustrating how much energy is being wasted. Just scale the blocksize already...

I guess that we need to see frequent backlogs in 30 - 60 MB range for things to start changing.

We staying below the 1400 transactions per block and with the stress tests, we experienced 1483 and 1711 respectively, so we getting close to a average of 1400 transactions per block, as a average. The thing that worries me, is the decline in the estimated transaction volumes. The only people smiling seems to be the miners, because the miners revenue is averaging above 1 750 000 US.  ..... Makes you wonder, why we seeing these high revenue, when transaction volumes are declining. |

Do you mean that there is NO spam or stress test going on? Otherwise your post makes no sense to me. |

Sorry for the typo. You are right. I meant no spam / stress test.

it need consensus, dev don't want to release something that will not gather enough consensus and be useless basically they are trying to see what the majority want before decide their move |

The correct statement is 'some blocks are full'. You can't just jump to conclusions based on data recovered in the last few hours. Out of the last few blocks I see a few at around 750kb. It is frustrating how much energy is being wasted. Just scale the blocksize already...
That can be a dangerous act. i have not been into all this bitcoin stuff for so long , but from all i read so far , i cant realy see why so much people are hating on bigger block sizes. Becuse all i can see and hear right now is that bitcoins would benfit from it a great deal.
Because you have no IT background and have not done adequate research. How could you jump to such conclusions? With a block size of 2 MB it is possible to construct a transaction that would take over 10 minutes to validate which would harm the network. |

Fine. So what is the solution then? Staying with 1MB blocks and watch confirmation times grow to infinity? |

The short term solution is SegWit. |

With a block size of 2 MB it is possible to construct a transaction that would take over 10 minutes to validate which would harm the network. While this is factually true in of itself , it ignores the larger context of it being trivial to protect against CVE-2013-2292 with the appropriate sigop protections(code has already been produced). Therefore it would be more appropriate to use this arguments against any idiots who suggest that there are no risks from simply increasing one variable, namely maxBlockSize. Do you know what is the current status of SegWit and when will it be released?
Segwit has moved off the sidechain testnet into a open testnet since the end of last year. It is currently undergoing a lot of testing and these wallet/companies are supporting it - Expected to go live in April. |
