Not to mention, 2MB was a compromise from 8MB which was a compromise from 20MB.
Where's the compromise from the other side?
- darawk 10y agoYa. It's absolute silliness. Rushing in these complicated solutions just to avoid some half-baked slippery slope argument about the block size. You don't need to keep raising the block size forever, just do it until you have a good, clean solution to the scaling problem.
- riprowan 10y agoAgree about slippery slope. There has been so much misinformation and propaganda spread that some people are now convinced that a fork to change any consensus rule could lead to the change of any consensus rule - even the 21M coin cap. The result is that the community has become polarized and toxic over something that ought to be noncontroversial.
