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 .
Huh

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...

Feel free to test the BCR chain, it has 20MB block size limit.

Closest thing I know of is bitbean with 20mb. Although I think the DEV abandoned the project. Roll Eyes

BitBean is based on a pro-Gavin proposal for a Bitcoin 20MB block size fork. Why wait to see if Bitcoin will ever change, BitBean started out from the beginning with 20MB blocks!

I guess bitbean is based on Gavin's modifications .

Like stated above, the 20MB wasn't needed, just another way to pump the price for a dump.

I believe, but not 100%, Litecoin has a 4mb block size currently.
It was originally programmed that way, not implemented later.

Edit: But yes, Litecoin's daily txs combined are not even more than 200kb.

ICO? Not even once.

Not sure what you're after but it's worth noting that the time between blocks for most coins is 1 minute so even with 1 MB block size limit they can handle 10 times more transactions than bitcoin.
