Because I have little technical knowledge, reading the @OP article I only can speak as a user. Increasing the block size, imo, will not solve the spam attack problem and may be will be worse than it is now. I agree with the view I recently read in the forum
here.
It is true that no amount of blockspace would stop spam transactions.
But the spam attack becomes much easier/cheaper when blocks are already full to almost full, because it barely costs anything to tip things from almost full to overflowing, even while paying minimal fees that are allowed into a mempool. Conversely, with a large amount of space, spammers would have to constantly fill up that space block after block in order to have an impact, and pay a lot of fees for it.
Thanks for backing Segwit and UASF as the only way forward to actually give cheap tx again. Glad you have woken up from your delusions of being even a tiny bit correct about anything you've ever uttered.
guess you dont know what segwit is 25hashcoin..
imagine it like a plane where the olden days people needed to buy 2 seats. one for their ass and one for their hand luggage..
segwit tx's still need to sit in the base block(plane seats) tooo... just to be able to put their luggage up in the overhead baggage area(weight).. just let other tx's sit where their baggage used to be
just having segwit activated does not mean an entire segwit tx can just sit in the baggage area.. and get 75% discount.
they still have to play with the native/legacy tx's to fight for seats of the base block!!!
this is where the 2009 7tx's (4500seats) hope never occured because on average 2250 people bought 2 seats for themselves and their baggage..
(tx's hav nevr been lean to sit in just 1 sat to actively get 4500 tx's into a block(plane)
what you also dont realise is for segwit to even have the slightest chance of making a tx capacity improvement. the majority of people need to move funds to segwit keys(buy special single tickets that promise to not use up 2 seats), which means millions of outputs need to move (to new plane tickets).. which means more mempool filling up. which means fees go up with all the drama (of changing tickets)
so say fee's are now $2..
with all the drama of moving to segwit keys.. may bring the price up to $8 then with native keys still spamming(fillings seats), the base block(plane) wont be 100% full of segwit tx but lets say 10-20%. meaning only 5-10% transaction capacity increase
and those lucky few that do get a seat and volunteered not to use up another seat for baggage. still end up paying $2 because the drama has gone on so long the prices went up that their 'discount' is only rolling back the prices of 6 months prior
