Where are you possibly getting that latency is a problem for 10 minutes in between blocks that miners are deciding? All a node needs to do is basic verification while sending out data. Anyone who has just synced with the chain can see that it takes less than a second per block. Where are your numbers coming from?
- grapehut 7y agoHe's conflating miner-concerns with general node ones. If you're running a miner, every millisecond is money. I operate nodes that takes up to like 20 seconds to get and validate a block (running no-mempool, and slow network/cpu) and it's absolutely no problem for my use case, which is pretty typical (accepting confirmed payments)
