> There is also the contention that increasing blocksize would make running full nodes harder (at least by some margin) which therefore means an increase in centralisation (by a proportional margin) Yet there is no attempt to quantify by how much. The damage done to Bitcoin by full blocks is much more than what a potential increase to 2MB would cause. This zero tolerance policy rhymes extremely poorly when the fees makes Bitcoin more expensive to use than to run a full node. > It would also set a precedent that miners are in control (or alternatively it could be interpreted as no-one is in control). Miners are in control because the real power lies with them. The problem is that they aren't coordinated and so status quo is favored.
