Why increasing the max block size is urgent
- pronoiac 12y agoThis is about the Bitcoin blockchain, btw. (My guess was hard drive details.)
- rgbrenner 12y agoYes. Can we add "Bitcoin: " to the beginning of the title?
- SamReidHughes 12y agoThe URL and the urgency gives it away.
- egwynn 12y agoI’m using an RSS reader that doesn’t show the URL. And there are many more urgent things in the world besides bitcoin. So I’m going to go with “kinda” and “no” respectively.
- SamReidHughes 12y agoWhat are the things that could urgently need block size increases?
- gonvaled 11y agoTCP packet size? Ethernet frame size? SSD erase block size? WLAN block acknowledgement size? ... Do you really see urgent and think "yeah, right, that must be about bitcoin"? And (honest question) what is in the url "http://gavinandresen.svbtle.com/" http://gavinandresen.svbtle.com/" that makes think about bitcoin? I do not know the guy. Should I?

- sumitgt 12y agoThis is very confusing without Bitcoin in the title. The word bitcoin does not appear until about 2/3rd into the page. Couldn't figure out what the article is about until then.
- danbruc 12y agoIf the average block is currently 40 % full that means not finding a single block for an entire day would result in a transaction queue of 57.6 MB - that sounds hardly like a problem.
- jlarocco 12y agoI would have loved to skip this article, and would have if the title were more clear that it was about BitCoin.
