The mining problem is a completely different dynamic. The thing in reference here is the scaling problem of individual transactions. So I agree there are different concerns and considerations.
In fact, I think the mining problem is far more concerning both short and long term than anything to do with blocksize. But both are just technical hurdles, and all it’s takes in a little ingenuity to solve them. We’ve solved much harder problems and do not believe either will stop us.
Spot on! I see a light at the end of the tunnel regarding the distribution of block template production. Not so sure about scaling.
Sorry about the other comment, I've had a few of those today already. nostr:note100rpm393ltts9ny5kj499g0qupwd3rlvxrgpqluqw8mwflrl6wwqws9m5h
Also generally not that concerned about scaling. Because I genuinely suspect we don't understand the problem very well and also are applying a "retail credit cards" model to this that seems very likely to me to not be the direction this goes. I think the evolution of its use (also how we extend sovereignty/trust) will likely be different than we imagine it to be.
This is an astute observation. I agree. The solution will probably look different than everything on the table today.
But failing to plan is planning to fail so this is not a reason to stop working on the problem.
I agree and would never suggest to it wasn't something to direct energy toward.
