I'm curious how this holds in a scenario where block propagation is constant because of inverted bloom filters?
If block solution propagation grows slower than log Q, where Q is the size of the block, then the fee market becomes unhealthy and miners are incentivized to produced arbitrarily large blocks. I show in my paper that this is not physically possible due to the Shannon-Hartley Theorem. This discussion relates to my main point of contention with Greg Maxwell. In email correspondence, he suggested that it would be possible to have infinite coding gain for block solutions announcement. (I.e., he suggested that block solutions can truly be communicated in an amount of time that does not depend, even asymptotically, on the amount of transactions included in the block. He said this is possible if what went into a block was already agreed upon far ahead of time [so that zero information needed to be communicated when the block was solved]). I think the onus is on him to rigorously show: (a) Under what assumptions/requirements such a communication scheme is physically possible. (b) That such a configuration is not equivalent to a single entity 1 controlling >50% of the hash power. (c) That the network moving into such a configuration is plausible. Nevertheless, I've agreed with him to discuss this point of contention when I make the other corrections to my paper. 1For example, if--in order to achieve such a configuration with infinite coding gain--miners can no longer choose how to structure their blocks according to their own volition, then I would classify those miners as slaves rather than as peers, and the network as already centralized.

It doesn't take much brains to figure out why the speed of increase of avg block has accelerated from days where Bitcoin had 10,000 users and how it projects to pickup even more speed as adoption and awareness grows.
"Supply creates its own demand"
This is false. The growth rate of the average block size was fastest in early 2011.

Side chains are certainly altcoins.
Maybe in your universe. Lol how are they not? They are essentially watered down versions of Bitcoin lol with a separate block chain. Sidechains are not altcoins, nor are they "watered down," nor are their block chain's "seperate."

"Supply creates its own demand"
you always say this as if it is a one way function leading to XT gloom. i think the opposite is even more likely, "demand creates it's own supply". i've talked about this before, as internet traffic demand from XT increases thru user fee based tx's, ISP providers could be thrilled to be able to monetize all the new traffic as they have long envisioned via the new internet economy. growth of the online economy is something they have been preparing for years for. all that fiber optic cable being laid across Africa as we speak could bring on billions of new internet users all of whom will have to pay some degree of connectivity fees. same goes for Western economies. i'd bet these ISP's love economic growth way more than oppressive gvt regulations choking that same growth.

With any less than 50% then MP is economically disadvantaging himself, and then it is a question of how big his pockets are and how much he is prepared to risk.
"How big?" Sufficiently big. "How much?" Enough. Everyone rushing to be the first XTcoin recipients are economically advantaging MP & Co by writing them free options: This is a fight which, BY DESIGN, you Gavinistas cannot win. Poor thing, no wonder it's "doing your head in."

If the peg is not allowed to break, all value will flow either to the sidechain or out of the sidechain. My personal guess is out of. Meaning the sidecoin fails. So keep talking about sidechains for ten years, collect and burn mountains of dollar risk capital, because if you try to implement it, it will prove its futility, and investor money dries up.
