How is that now? Who are the non-enthusiasts that are preventing abuse by running full nodes?
For $20 a month someone could easily run a large-block full node and that price will only come down.
- Taek 9y agoNot if you keep doubling the blocksize every time blocks fill up. Also, would you pay $20/mo for a credit card? That's a big expense to participate in a financial system.
- MichaelGG 9y agoGoing to 2, 4 or 8MB doesn't mean other things can't be looked at. It doesn't mean we end up with 256MB blocks. It's a cheap, simple extension for the time being. How many independent nodes do we need to ensure it keeps working?
