interessante Meinung/Infos von paxful wg. scaling:
https://youtu.be/f55BaNIrOKY?t=22m37sinterviewer: now you guys are in a unique position regarding Bitcoin scaling because you're doing 5 to 8% of the transaction volume on the blockchain. Are you guys having issues with confirmation times and especially with those newbie users... is that becoming an issue or have you been able to navigate around that and what do you think the future needs to be to go forward?
paxful dude: So, it
is an issue. We get the complaints.
People don't care how the blockchain works, they just want to deposit coins, they want to do the payment asap and we've got all this extra support because of that. Even one big merchant who is doing a lot of bitcoin payments is saying that they are thinking of moving away from bitcoin and switching to another coin because of the slow confirmation times.
paxful dude #2: the full blocks
paxful dude #1: the full blocks, exactly. So that issue should be solved quickly.
paxful dude #2: We actually brought this up in a blog post a couple of months ago just to try to warn people and say: hey,
you can't be so lax with this issue cause these merchants who do all this mainstream business,...
they don't necessarily care that it's bitcoin. Any token of value will do. As long as there's a way, an application, to convert all existing forms of fiat into that token -- which is what
we have. So these merchants come to us and say: hey, this bitcoin is not working out, we need another token of value. Can you support whatever they decide to use, they'll ask us: can you support this? And we'll say: ok and that's it. And that is.. you know, we would do that just to keep things going, but really, if Bitcoin takes a hit like that, it doesn't just hurt Bitcoin, it hurts all of cryptocurrency in general. It hurts the entire space. [

something as amazing as Bitocin just kind-of be almost snuffed out like that and be replaced, that's not good for anyone. So this is again another call out to the entire space: let's solve this scaling issue. And I don't know if I'm just talking to the wind here, but this really
does need to be done and bitcoin really
does need to stand at the very top of the hill. We think that's good for the entire space.
aber was solls, die blocks sind ja nicht voll. This is no emergency.
