All in title.
I am wondering if there is any alt-coin with 8mb block-size limit that we can run tests on ,
to get some ideas about what we are running to if we increase the block-size limit in bitcoin .

This is a silly question because there's no reason for any altcoin to have blocks even 1/10th the size of bitcoin. Take litecoin for example. Many blocks, if not most blocks have zero transactions other than the coinbase. Block sizes are 2-10KB. LTC has <1% the number of transactions /min of BTC. LTC could have 100MB blocks and it would make no difference - there's not enough volume of transactions to come close to filling blocks whether large or small.
You know that blocksize is not always equal to transactions in alts right? There are other uses for larger blocks. Your dismissive answer is incorrect.
My point is that there isn't a lot of transaction volume on other chains. Enlighten me - what's the point of larger blocks with few transactions? [not trolling]
Exactly, people seem to think that the block size limit is something that has a huge impact on everything.. It is just a thing to ensure the transactions fit...
big surprise
