I'm surprised anyone has taken the vote to increase Dash blocksize literally the real motivation was very obvious.
Don't be surprised, trolls know very well that this particular vote was not to be taken literally. They just play their moronic and/or paid game over and over.
There are two non-exclusive possibilities here.
1. Dash's so-called "distributed governance" is just a system for conducting unenforceable and therefore meaningless symbolic straw polls (along with unaccountable grants of free money)
2. Evan lacks the technical chops to implement a maximum 2mb block size
When Evan put up that proposal, it's ONLY purpose was to show how fast Dash can get consensus.
We won't need extra space for at least another 3 years
Gee, I wonder how silly old SolarMiner got the mistaken impression that the 2mb vote was, you know, more than just a bullshit jacking off exercise in self-congratulation?
Can anyone provide evidence from the time of the vote that it was widely understood to be a mere resolution in support of a 2mb vaporware upgrade?
Solving the problems inherent to a 2mb max blocksize is much harder than simply voicing some nebulous intention for undertaking such an endeavor.
And yet, you consider 2mb 'as good as done' with no substance to back up the symbolism.
I know you aren't really knowledgeable about what happens in Bitcoin world, but please be aware that project has run into big problems (IE, a chain fork) due to nodes signaling support for upgrades they weren't actually ready for.
As an aside, it's pretty funny even Dash's 2nd most thoroughly brainwashed cult victim (right behind toknormal) doesn't believe Dash will actually be used for "at least another 3 years."
In 3 years, the crypto universe will be radically different, and if Dash doesn't start finding uses in the real world very soon it will be an almost forgotten footnote in history.
Icebreaker is actually making some good arguments. Well said.
So I understand that increasing the blocksize is more than one line of code....which I did find by the way. Hee hee. But the goal of that vote should have been to direct resources to make it happen. There should have been a timeline and an idea for testing and implementation. Maybe initially it was a 1.1MB block and adding .1MB every 3 months. Whatever made sense to safely implement the change. Ignoring the proposal now just shows how ineffective the entire Dash Decision Engine really is.
I am not faulting Moo or Udjin, they are completely capable of making the change in a reasonable way. And maybe the answer is not to make the change. Which right now is probably a good decision.
The fault is in the marketing of the change like it was actually going to happen. I bet if the change was actually made after that vote, Dash would have gained a lot of support.
BTW, Maidsafe and Ardor coming up will be using ways to only keep the latest transactions. The Blockchain and Blocksize the way we think of it now will be changing.
