- Propaganda -
Core lives in reality, and accepts that there are technical limitations in scaling a
decentralized network, WHILE maintaining decentralization.
1. scaling does not mean 'gigabytes by midnight' (core propaganda) - sincerely, please stop reading from their story book
2. core said 2mb dangerous(core propaganda) then less than a few months later said 4mb is ok
3. yet the 4mb does not translate to 4x potential transaction scaling
4. since 2010, when the 1mb limit had some tests done, scenarios run and thought about its transaction count(7tx/s) limit.. bitcoin has since then
had many things that have made the tx and block relay made to happen faster
had the verification of signatures and blockdata made to happen faster
yet. 9 years later we have not surpassed the potential 600k a day tx count(7tx/s)
yes bitcoin is several times faster than it was 9 years ago but has not ben allowed to have a several times transaction count increase
why?
coz core said bitcoin is not to be used for everyday people. and blockchain is broke and how LN is the saviour
sorry but id rather have 4mb baseblock that includes signature data combined where all full nodes validate all transactions and where that 4mb has a 28tx/s potential.. rather than the current wishy washy math 'weight' crap which after 2 years still hasnt even broke the 7tx's limit(600k tx a day) for a single day
do you really think its efficient code to have where
a limit of 4mb is fabricated to have ben reached.. but actually is using say 2.1mb of data
(thus in reality not even using the full limits utility)
a limit of 4mb is not even going to get the community 4x transaction count
a limit of 4mb is not going to allow 4x transactions to make transactions 4x cheaper for all(back to under a penny)
(core didnt make tx's 4x cheaper. they made legacy tx's 4x expensive then offered 'discount' to pretend it balances out)
would you be happy with a supermarket that offered milk at $1 a bottle. then raised it to $4 and then had a discount offer back to $1 but only for those using its loyalty card
.. be honest
last point
'decentralised'
reality is its a distributed network. as there is most definetely a central reference, a core an centre to the network. they have been literally shouting that out to the community with their branding
learn the difference between decentralised and distributed
and if you really care about your hard drive data
are you really ok with the 1mb->4mb.. but then knowing the 4mb doesnt even = 4x transactions scaling utility
....
anyway.. main topic point
imagine bank notes. one backed by silver one backed by gold
where it costs $20 to exchange a banknote from paper to the base metal
where it costs $0.10 to exchange a banknote from paper to the base metal
would you continually use the bank note with a $20 end cost. or move to a $0.10 end cost
would you continually use the bank note and not care about the base metal and just be happy using the paper
would you even stop using the paper bank note if the end user was no longer able to convert to base metal and stuck just circulating the paper money
truly ask yourself all the questions. not as a core defender but as an open economic system defender
