- redegg 14y agoNo. If they lowered their max block size, they would get less fees from transactions.
- Tuna-Fish 14y agoNo. Nearly all (99.9999% or thereabouts) of the work you need to do to mine bitcoins is independent of the size of the block you mine. You want to run large blocks to collect as much transaction fees as you want to.
