A feature of bitcoin is it’s stubborn system stability and resistance to change :)
One of the odd benefits of this is that old forum posts and discussions have a good chance of being relevant.
Although I will say lots of progress has been made in p2p message propagation (since this isn’t directly a part of consensus) which could definitely prevent orphan blocks, so you may be on to something in this case.
- kadoban 5y agoYeah, the biggest effects on the number of orphaned blocks should be the number of distinct mining pools and the latency between them. I could see some of those numbers changing enough to matter since 2013, but I'm not all that sure.
