other day i was thinking abt how you could do blocksize like the difficulty adjustment.

imagine how arbitrary 100gb/yr in storage is gonna seem in 15yrs, while it bottlenecks lightning and other protocols, but will also seem silly just to hardfork to new hardcoded values.

idk what you would peg the difficulty adjustment to tho

A node must be ridiculously small and easy to run.

Storage gets cheaper and faster every year

realistically we’re still making a trade-off tho.

say in 10yrs, even the homeless are running 100TB w great bandwidth on the cheapest phone out- that’s great, everyone’s running a node, but lightning doesn’t have enough bandwidth to onboard most ppl nor the mainchain. ppl are restricted to federations/custody for arbitrary reasons

What about memory, CPU, bandwidth?

We already have PoW coins that chose different trade-offs like XMR or LTC/BCH. There's no need to change BTC - ever..

Agree

at this point it would do more much more harm to change since conservativeness and ossification have become such major values for btc
