Isn't the real pressing issue recently the discovery that it takes less than the cost of a Smart car to spam up the system for hours and hours?
The *initial* cost to fill blocks is low, but (assuming actual non-spam/noise demand exists) fee pressure will result in an upward price spiral for the attacker. However, the more room available in the block, the less effective this free market self-correcting remedy/mechanism becomes. such shallow, naive economic thinking.

Heh, the Gavinistas are having a very bad day week. First, Frap.doc was put upon to explain... Actually it's been a bad 18 months and counting for Mr. 'bitcoin up' fap.doc. OK sure, but the recent one-two wombo combo of Gavin declaring A. "the financial crisis is over" and B. "The sky will not fall if the block size stays at 1MB" can't be easy for poor old Doctor Frappy to explain away with his usual hand-waving assclown routine. By ignoring gainsaying and insulting the expertise of Nick Szaboshi, Adam Bakomoto, Bram Cohen, and ALL THE CORE DEVS, he's really painted himself into a corner. iCEBlow continues to be lost. the harder he flaps his lips for Blockstream the worse Monero gets. his thuggery knows no bounds. but the harder he thugs for SC's, the faster Monero falls. and he has no idea why. meanwhile:

The way to generate resiliency for Bitcoin is to get to the point that each block generates $10M in fees.
Today each block generates around $4,500 in fees on average.
That is not resilient, that is weak and easy for any state to attack.
This idea that using fee pressure on a low # of transactions is a way to get to high value blocks from fees is absurd. The way to get to high value blocks is tons of transactions paying minimum fees.
Agree with the first 3 sentences, but only in a superficial way. The fourth is just more absurd, Frappuccino Doc-esque bloviating. As fee pressure rises, "attacking" (IE filling up) blocks becomes more expensive. An attacker would have to pay higher fees than anyone else to stop tx propagation. And PT's replace-by-fee makes that already unworkable strategy obsolete. Your naive $4.5k/block figure illustrates the fact GavinCoin won't fix this so-called problem; 20 (or eight) times $4.5k is still nothing to any semi-resourceful attacker (much less TLA national statists).The only way to densely pack "tons of transactions paying minimum fees" into the extremely scarce resource of the blockchain is to use LN/SC/alt/off-chain mechanisms to aggregate payments and settle on the MotherChain. Even on a cluster of 24-core Xeons, blockchain tech cannot verify tx fast enough to *DIRECTLY* compete with centralized/specialized Visa-scale infrastructure. What is so boring about this is how none of you one the 1MB side ever say anything factual and instead constantly misrepresent the facts (i.e. lie). Gavin's proposed change is not $4.5k * 8, instead it is $4.5k * 8 * 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2 = $36.8M in fees. And that is for one block, it works out to $1B per day in fees. What this means is if bitcoin scales to the point that it regularly fills 8GB blocks, then there is a $1B/day in fees to pay for the network. As others have already noted, Bitcoin's value comes from its decentralization, not low tx tees. If u don't value that, centralized systems can meet ur needs And as others have constantly noted, but you have ignored, is decentralization comes from miners. The P2P network does not represent the level of decentralization, independent miners do. Today we have tens of thousand of independent miners. If fees pay $1B/day we will have even more.

It made me think if any of this rival groups gave a thought to common interoperability concepts before. A 2 way data communication to alert a preceding autonomous vehicle of another incoming one in the fast lane could be really useful. Even more if the preceding one could let the fast incoming vehicle of the need to change lane due to a obstruction...thus forcing the latter to slow down to allow such evasive manouvering.

I've lost count! Your hypocrisy is boundless. After pimping Bitcoin as Gold 2.0 and acting as a shill for HashFast, you have the audacity to pick on poor little Monero? If you recall, I was on the fence (leaning against) SCs for quite a long time. But unlike you I possess an open mind, free from the ossification of early onset senility and elder rage, which is capable of learning new things. New things such as the Cryptonote protocol, which incorporates the 'blind signatures' invented by Dr. Chaum in the form of ring signatures plus stealth addresses. Of course that was the plan all along, which you would know if you were remotely worthy of the 'cypher' adjective in your screen name. XMR is very stable BTW. And in terms of UX, is where BTC was four years ago (IE on the cusp of breaking out of the nerdosphere into far wider demographics). TPTB and you are brothers from different mothers. Newsletter writing crank? Check! Endless moaning about doooom and gloooom? Double check! Spurned silverbug? Triple check! Resent GMax for being the smartest cryptogeek codemonkey in the room?

We'll see about that soon... In the meantime, it would front load my future ROTFLMAO, if you (not others who want to keep their shirts) buy moar XMR.

I just got back, but Edit: I don't see how any amount of money would ever be too much to deter bad actors from shitting on our parade for sport. Does blocksize even address this at all? Lots of venom in this thread lately. I think bigger blocks will just make shit parades more expensive to throw?

Fascinating article about investor psychology and dependence on state intervention in Stock markets: “The tone from the state media is particularly helpful to retail investors like me, as I have a job to do and am pretty busy,” said Yao, 35. “China’s stock market is really different from other countries. The government surely has some measures to control the movement.” http://bloom.bg/1Nl6WzhThe US is surely no different.

Unbelievable! It's almost as if subsidizing spam/noise transactions creates more of them. Indeed, building wider motorways doesn't necessarily solve traffic congestion. A bunch of other things sometimes do (raising gasoline/car taxes/prices, regulation, unemployment, crime, alternative transport, virtual working, better city layout, emigration...). Toll could remove congestion on the smallest road. But it does not solve the capacity problem directly, only as a price signal to entrepreneurs to build higher capacity roads. There is a reason that metropols have multiplie high capacity multiple lane roads going in and out. They need the capacity. The towns could not have grown to metropols without them.
