Ha ha. Just realized that's probably the reason why I think so much about core processing efficiency and scalability and such.
Younger people just hack some stuff together and tell everyone to buy the newest iPhone to run it on and they're done.
I'm like... very nice. Impressive. Snazzy. Now imagine there are 5 million people using that... simultaneously.
It doesn't actually help much to move the bottleneck closer and closer to the end user and away from the server. It just shifts the burden and shrinks the potential userbase.
You still, at some point, have to write to some connection.
I am a non technical person who’s only been in bitcoin for a few years. Are you saying that it is counterproductive to never increase the block size if it means transaction fees are unaffordable? Just guessing at your meaning. I could be way off base here 🤔
I'm only focused on Nostr. I haven't really thought that much about Bitcoin blocksize.
Those 5 million people can each be their own provider (for whatever service the developer would otherwise have to host and provide).
That is true sovereignty and decentralization. Central servers/service providers are the anti-pattern that has destroyed the Internet.
