Dogecoin has the same design flaw of a hardcoded block size as bitcoin, and would hit the same limitation if it became popular (although, dogecoin mines a block every 1 minute as opposed to bitcoin's 10, so it could support 10x more tps before hitting said limit).
- peteretep 6y agoBy “hard coded” you mean “a variable” though. EDIT: wow, sorry Dogecoin fans, I double-checked my notes and you’re right, it’s actually some kind of universal constant that can’t be changed
- vermilingua 6y agoIf the variable doesn’t change, it isn’t variable, is it?
- throwaway888abc 6y agoIt's constant
- number6 6y agoThere is one speaker who Talks about refractorating, sorry I forgot his name, who always leads with this: [if we changed this constant the function could also do this and we can save a lot of code.] "And what do we call a constant that changes? A variable!" And than he uses it as a parameter. Reminded me of him.
