For some further context, Ethereum allows miners to vote on block capacity increases in a way similar to that which some people wanted to add to Bitcoin.

- alanfalcon 9y agoSurely this has more to do with ETH’s very fast block time than the increased block size in a vacuum? That is, I don’t see how these same issues that are affecting blocks that come every ~15s can be used to draw a conclusion about a system whose blocks come every ~ten minutes.
