Topic: Big blocks are worse now than ever? (Read 428 times)

That is what you get when low IQ people start joining who are only obsessed with making a buck or two and dont care about the tech. This forum is full of desperate signature spammers and a bunch of silly teenage kids.

Hardly any intelligent adults are left here unfortunately. I don't even log in to the forum that often because of this, even though I used to post here a lot.

there is already a board for that: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?board=6.0

and there isn't much "technical" arguments about what OP is saying here. in fact there is little technical discussion about any scaling proposals around here. it is just nonsense after nonsense.
the same OP was supporting bitcoin unlimited passionately not so long ago! now he is supporting something else passionately!

Seems very few people participate in technical discussions these day.  Wish a section is created for technical Cryptocurrency discussions..  Bitcoin and Altcoin sections don't have enough of them. Strong discussions is badly needed. Hope something is done about this.

Definitely not? A few weeks ago fees were absolutely outrageous. They were approaching 500+ sat/byte and in some cases exceeding it. Now they are only about 33% of that.

Yes I agree with you that some people are tryibg to destabilize, defame and are doing any worse thing with bitcoin as they can. It is natural that when something is getting popularity and receiving a big round of applause, there are some people who can not tolerate all this and want to smash some slapes on the face of that particular thing. The same is here with bitcoin. Some people do not see the success of bitcoin.

Now that BCH has split off from BTC, some guys still want to fork again through Segwit2x, I still dont understand how can people be that stupid to do that again, but it looks like it's just another attempt to hurt BTC in any way they can.

As we see more and more censorship on the internet, which is starts to become visible now, they are intentionally pushing for a big block system, where the node count will drastically drop even further.

There are 6295 BTC nodes
There are 1715 BCH nodes (roughly)

And we know for certain that as the 8mb block keeps stacking up, the hardware and bandwidth costs, the node count will drastically drop further.

So we have internet censorship now higher than ever + an unsustainable high blocksize = failure.

I could not have been more comical than this, and this is the worst timing of this happening.


Not only you have net neutrality in danger plus the massive censorship coming, but you also have a rapidly growing blockchain, hardly any merchant support, and the hobbyists who run now BCH nodes could dissapear soon. I won't even mention the, allegedly hundreds of fake free-trial-VPS nodes that they were allegedly caught with in the earlier Classic sybil-attack incident.

To sum it up, to me it looks like Bitcoin Cash will not have a bright future. It's a huge gamble that they are taking right now, and despite the cheap transaction costs, the infrastructure costs just simply make it not worth it in my opinion.
