Transactions on the blockchain are capped. We effectively hit capacity in 2016. Segwit provided a small amount of relief by moving a small part of the transaction from the main part of the block.
Shake it off Richy_T...
Shake it off.
Just to let you know (in case you have been under a rock), the blocksize wars have ended, and boo whoo whoo, guess who-ie pooie wonnie?
Everything I wrote was factual and relevant to the post I was replying to. It is only you who have chosen to inject more meaning into a plain statement of fact that the number of bitcoin transactions in an amount of time don't mean anything. Or do you have anything more germane to the point than playground taunts?
Yeah.. of course, I have more that I could say, if needed, but I largely said as much as I really had wanted to say.. and surely, you gave me a seemingly decently good reason to throw my comments into the mix to make sure that I did not let your lil dig slide..
Surely a bit of humor to see that you still seem to be getting yourself all worked up about supposed ongoing concerns about blocksize issues and various presumptions about bitcoin not being quite up to snuff in the transacting volume arena from your perspective.
I don't really see any need to say much more than what I already said, unless you want to talk about recent bitcoin history in processing transactions on chain in regards to fee spikes or maybe you want to suggest that you are just suggesting bad days in bitcoin's near-term future because blocks are nearly continuously full? Sure I would concede that factually, the bitcoin blockchain has not a had a complete clearing up of the mempool since about January 2023, yet so far from my own not-technical perspective, such lack of clearing of the mempool seems kind of like a feature rather than a bug and, such non clearing of the mempool does not seem to be playing out as BIG of a problem as you seem to be implying to potentially be in bitcoin's cards to suggest that something major is broken or defective in bitcoin... and that measures cannot be taken by folks to account for what is, in bitcoin, rather than whining about wishing for BIGGer blocks which hardly even seems a reasonable solution at this particular point.. ..
and yeah, there seems to also be some gamesmanship going on in bitcoin and potential problems with mining pools and mining incentives that relate to how mining pools work, yet I don't even believe that you were fleshing out those kinds of ideas in your seemingly ongoing "old school" concerns about the blocksize and onchain transaction quantities.
