You should read the paper this thread is about. It tells you tons of technical reasons that it would be a bad idea to increase the max block size very much if at all.
- zionic 5y agoEthereum has increased its max block size 7+ times in the last 5 years and has had zero issues doing so. “Papers” from technically illiterate authors that ignore very real, tangible evidence contradicting them are about as useful as flat earth “math”.
- fsh 5y agoExcept that I can easily run a full bitcoin node on my desktop but not an ethereum node. What is the point of having a cryptocurrency if I have to trust someone else to run the software for me?
- wyager 5y agoEthereum archive nodes are >20x larger than Bitcoin full nodes and notoriously hard to set up.
- topranks 5y agoIt doesn’t really though. It makes laughable claims like miners have only 94KB of bandwidth. It’s the same old fud that says SPV is unsafe for the average user, Moore’s law is nonexistent, and even then makes crazy lowball assumptions about what hardware and network connectivity people have. It’s basic fallacy is the same old one that says every user needs to download and validate the entire chain and all transactions to use Bitcoin. If that’s true it’s going nowhere anyway.
