Wall Observer BTC/USD - Bitcoin price movement tracking & discussion

We need the network to fill ~50MB blocks  ( or maybe like 20MB with segwit ) at that point it's going to be generating at least 12.5BTC in fees each block which is more than enough.

Do you think we should expect an exponetial decrease in full-nodes? And do you think that will be lame?

Solution: Once the network has grown to fill 50MB blocks, we up the block size. Til then, 1MB blocks. Sound good?

No.


soon when BIP??? is implemented miners will be able to communicate new blocks  with a tiny header rather than send the entire contents of the block. at that point nodes need only be able to keep up with the networks TPS,  a node behind a slow 2Mbps can keep up with 100MB blocks.

100MB blocks with segwit = ~2Mbps  ~1400TPS capacity just about the same as Visa's avg TPS.

Spam fills blocks => a "savior" comes along and says the solution is to increase block size to fill blocks with more spam under the pretext of scaling txs => you have both a power grab and more inefficiency to deal with.

is 100x 50cent bets spam?

the idea is to have enough TX on the network so that fee's replace block subsidy.

i say, let the BMO's blockchain app spam away!

If you have ample space (let's say 10mb blocks), why would anyone pay fees to get included? It's not like there's a shortage of space... so the fee would be more like ...a tip at that point.

The only way people would pay fees is if miners started declining free or near-zero-fee txs for processing, (or fees were enforced by the protocol or something). But if that happened, you don't get to spam for near-zero cost or zero cost.

I still look back at the initial transaction message that Satoshi sent with the press release about how badly the credit card industry is destroying us all. The goal first and foremost should be to beat the credit card companies. Using Bitcoin as a currency was never really part of the plan.

no people have and always will pay the tiny fee.

blocks were never full and everyone paid the fee.

there is a supply / demand  dynamic at play with or without a block limit.  miners gain nothing from including a 0fee TX, it makes there block bigger for no reason, they will do like they do now and make 0fee TX wait at 0conf for a while.

100MB blocks with segwit = ~2Mbps  ~1400TPS capacity just about the same as Visa's avg TPS.

3 * 100 * (at most) 2 = (at most) 600, not 1400

right,
3-5 * 100 *2

well with god knows what further improvements

i think we can get a high enough TPS so that tiny fees support miners, and then eventually bitcoin will be able to handle all payments on earth.

[adamstgBit]

on avg i guess poeple make 3 TX pre day

that would mean about 256,891TPS on earth

10GB blocks?

Fellow bitcoiners, bag holders, mother's, sons of bitches! glory is ours for the taking.

segwit is a banner, symbolizing our power and cunning, a techno cou de force! throught deep commitment to strong consensus we will achieve an infallible system in which will will sow the seed of disruption. We WILL destroy markets and assimilate nations! nothing can stop us. buy hold spend, spread. We need only be the change we want to see and we shall have it!

seize the day and buy ALL the bitcoins!

Possible solutions:

1. People often buy more than once from the same store. Make stores run a tab for their customers, consolidate a year's worth of transactions into a single transaction, and validate that single transaction via blogchain.

2. Ever wonder why people breed so much? Do they *really* need that many kids? Really?
With that in mind, are we putting enough fluoride in our drinking water? Obamacare, work safety, governments keeping drunk drivers (Nature's own gardeners) off our streets? Just throwing it out there...

3. War (Nature's other gardener): Just how is it a bad thing? Is the negativity in the mainstream press really deserved?

Increasing tx rate is not the only way to solve our problem, there are *2 sides* to every equation. We just need to start thinking outside the box.

The idea, for now, is to build up userbase. That's the point of block rewards.

We are not growing fast at the moment but the userbase is large enough so that the price could shoot up to thousands of dollars when the develop world's economy starts tanking again

Gee, what a good idea. Amazing how its never been thought of before in Bitcoin.....

the price is really low right now and i think that it will have to start rising in the near future, i hope i am right

or it's the beginning of the next bear cycle which would depress a lot of people here.
