everything you hear about why we shouldn't increase blocksize is a bullshit excuse to delay the inevitable.
Nope. There are true and valid concerns in regards to it. You can't just play around with numbers as you wish.
the reason they want to wait a year is not to give bitcoin more buffer space to grow and allow more ONCHAIN, they want to delay it so that they can then increase it marginally, only enough to fill the buffer space with the flags and opcode bloats that LN needs. forcing people away from onchain. and allowing the ONCHAIN fee to increase due to being nearly full. as more incentive to divert people away from bitcoins ONCHAIN.
as for the raspberry pi debate
RasPi 2. 900mhz
1gm ram
RasPi 3 1.2ghz (33% increase)
1gb ram
33% increase in processing speed in just 1 year..
say rasPi2 could handle 2000 signature verification's every couple minutes.(understatement used for basic maths)
rasPi3 can handle 2660 signature verification in the same time.
now add on libsecp256k1's 5x performance.
and a RasPi 3 can handle 13300 verification in after april 2016 that rasPi 2 could handle 2000 just a couple months ago
and to mr david rabahy, i know you do love your maths. but please dont take Lauda's word for it because he heard it from someone who heard it from someone. because thats just chinese whispers.
though i myself think the quadratic debate is a moot point because we are talking about 2mb buffer code to be added in april (not now) which will activate after quadratic doomsday scenario no longer becomes a thing. so to all intense and purposes by the time 2mb is activated the quadratic debate does not even need to be mentioned.
but i would still like to see some real maths using real bitcoin data to see if quadratic debate was even a thing during 2009-april2016
