Look what you made me do, I merited Franky1...how are you going to compensate for this?
Frankly, I don't care. If I see something wrong, I'll speak up. End of story.
So Visa does only 582 million on average so you're off by a factor of ten, and then you complain this is too much, this is that and impossible and everything! How about we stop with approximation and talk about real numbers, proven numbers?
The average transactions per second is not equivalent to the capacity. Capacity is the maximum transactions it can handle per second, and it's more than 65,000, just google "visa transaction capacity".
And you're both missing the point. Visa can increase its capacity if there is a need for more than 65,000 transactions per second because it is a single, centralized system. Decentralized systems do not function this way. This is intended to be a "peer-to-peer cash system", remember? Clients must verify everything.
Beyond that, let's not repeat the same arguments about the burden of running a node. I'm focusing on the economic aspect of small block sizes. If you want to compete with Visa, you need gigabytes of block size. If you recognize the sustainability issues that arise from "scaling" to gigabytes of block size, you need to stop comparing it with Visa and find another way to scale the system.
But if there are no 100 million transactions there will be no 1000Petablocks either, right??
Wrong. You can create transactions that have arbitrary data. It's nowadays called "spam".
Also, seems like you fail to understand we need only 20x the amount of transactions at exactly 1 sat/vb to compensate for the block having on average 20sat/vb, and again, if you think we can't have 10 million (funny how again you're off by an order of magnitude) tx in a day 12 years from now then you don't need a crystal ball to recognize a failure.
So, is 80 MB the ideal size? Or should it double with every halving? I can't keep up with the changing goalposts!
Try taking a shot every time we've made this conversation and you've made your Friday night.
