Why do you think small blocks are still good for #bitcoin?
Discussion
Just as Bitcoin itself is scarce with 21m coins only, blocksize should also be scarce, with every halving giving less and less Bitcoin to miners we need incentives for new miners to pop up which helps with decentralisation, tx fees are one such thing which would be way too cheap if blocksize were larger.
If it's possible to build L2 and L3 as we are seeing is possible and is very feasible then you shouldn't mess with things that can have unrealised consequences. There's a reason Bitcoin cash is worthless compares to Bitcoin.
I think that’s flawed logic to say blocksize needs to be scare because there’s a limited nobler of coins.
The block reward was supposed to subsidize miners till price was higher with more transactions & then fees would take over.
I’m fairly confident that miners are trying to control the fee market so they maker more money.
L2 & up can’t scale if L1 doesn’t scale.
It’s worthless because of the war.
Even if BTC increased the block-size, it would be filled with Ordinal (inscriptions) that is currently taking max up to 4MB in a single transaction.
Taproot has it's own pros and cons.
In BCH, the maximum size for a single transaction is still 1MB, keeping the block-size at 32MB
Agreed but at least with a bigger block size we could in theory handle more transactions on chain thus hypothetically keeping transactions cheaper while opening the possibility for even bigger transactions?
I mean bitvm is going to cost a fuck ton to use on chain. I would assume that will get moved to the LN to be cost effective?
Yes you’re right, they should consider increasing block size.
Or maybe have an Adjustable block-size depending on the traffic in the Mempool.
Yes a dynamic block size would probably be the best idea.
(Would still probably have to limit from huge blocks ie scale that with bandwidth limits. We don’t want gb sized blocks yet right lmfao.)
Important for the network to be as decentralized as possible. If blockchain gets huge, only data centers will be able to run full nodes --> central points of failure that can be targeted.
Even when it’s possible hindering the network from growing?
The man himself even thought it would only be run in data center in the future.
