Oddbean new post about login | logout What are the cascading unintended consequences of that? Also 1mb is plenty. They'll just stuff bitcoin full of .webp images or vectors lol.
My problem isnt whats being stuffed. My problem is with the amount of data thats being stuffed
Yeah I understand that and that's the part I don't like as well. But the solution should be examined, reviewed, debated, and tested extremely thoroughly. Can't Elon musk the fix imo. And even then we won't know if there are any unintended consequences that come from it in terms of how things play out in practice. Users will be users and the era of tiny blocks might introduce incentives or ways of using bitcoin that we can't anticipate.
It wouldn't be tiny blocks though. They would effectively be double from pre 2017. https://twitter.com/ajtowns/status/1620084733299539970?t=9jOy3C8dVh6lGj5eFUTJjQ&s=19
