Garzik Predicts ‘Chaos’ If Changes Made to Both Fee Structure and Block Size http://cointelegraph.com/news/114966/garzik-predicts-chaos-if-changes-made-to-both-fee-structure-and-block-size“First, users & market are forced through this period of chaos by ‘let a fee market develop’ as the whole market changes to a radically different economic policy, [one] the network has never seen before. Next, when blocks are consistently full, the past consensus was that block size limit will be increased eventually. What happens at that point? Answer — Users & market are forced through a second period of chaos and disruption as the fee market is rebooted again by changing the block size limit.”

I've you conceptualize that core dev determination of block size is central planning, then it becomes clear why it doesn't work.

Go to your XT fork and get it over with already. Please! This will be the best thing which ever happened for Bitcoin and more importantly, for distributed crypto-currencies in a general sense. I do wish you would get with it, but I predict that if it gets enough traction to happen at all it will coincide with an event which would make people otherwise look to Bitcoin as a wealth preservation tool.

Multiple Choice Question: Do you see bitcoin in the future as: A) a scaling peer to peer network with ultra cheap transactions, for anyone globally to use, with bitcoin functioning as internet cash, avoiding financial intermediaries or banks. B) a settlement layer for banks, fin tech companies and early adopters, with a low volume expensive to transact upon blockchain
C) all of the above, and more It's a trick question (false dilemma fallacy), because of the duality of big-B Bitcoin (the first successful e-cash implementation) and small-b bitcoin (blockchain technology). Small-b bitcoin has already forked, in the form of alts, so as to ensure ultra cheap p2p global tx for all mankind. Big-B Bitcoin, still in its early life cycle, is in the phase where it distinguishs itself and diverges from Bitcoin-like blockchains, on the way to becoming the (ultra-secure, expensive, low volume) Mother of All settlement layers and global reserve e-cash. The commonplace category error plaguing us at the moment results from failing to recognize this bifurcation (and reading Satoshi's Whitepaper in that context), or refusing to countenance the existence of alts (IE small-b bitcoin) because of some nutty Maximalist Monopolist Fundamentalist Supremacist ideological stance.

Already been explained. It's called " scaling." Pro tip: bloating is not scaling, bloating is just more of the same (only with negative marginal return).

Unless you expect bitcoin to have hundreds of sidechains (not altcoins) performing 'ultra cheap p2p global tx for all mankind' then your argument is flawed. The bitcoin chain only has value because it is first and because people expect it to retain (or increase) it's value in the future through increased (or continuing) adoption. Early adopters might not see that this is a problem if bitcoin remains limited or crippled by a small blocksize but to those of us who just missed that early boat and joined the party in 2013 or later it is an issue. The reason being that to all non-early adopters the speculative value of bitcoin over alternate blockchains is based in part upon the expectation of a significantly growing userbase and ultimately exchange price of each bitcoin. If it becomes clear that bitcoin is not going to scale or remain the cheapest blockchain out there for new users then it won't just be new users who migrate to alternate chains, it will be the value that early adopters enjoy currently, too. Edit: Pro-tip: lightning is vapour currently so wind your neck in..

Small is beautiful. Small is defensible. The only way to make software secure, reliable, and fast is to make it small. Fight Features. - Andy Tanenbaum 2004We will not allow Bitcoin to succumb to cheap bloating attacks and lazy slouching towards the negative marginal returns, and inevitable extinction, of gigantism. A comet will eventually hit Planet Bitcoin. When that happens it needs to still be a nimble mammal, not a bloated dinosaur. LOL, your 6 SX nodes are 6% of their total and a mighty 1.55% of the network! Fear the wrath of the Gavinistas!

So we have the asics. After a few rounds of minimalization, we will be at the smallest size asics that can be made.
Next step is a special processor for lookup in the blockchain database. Maybe a special cache that can hold the transaction indexes, maybe some prediction built in so the whole chain from the coinbase can be loaded into the cache in paralell. And a special cache for holding whole transactions, or at least an output address and the number of satoshis in each cache line. One machine cycle to verify each output, at 8 GHz. That would be something. Well, ideas are cheap.
