I fail to see how this description wouldn't be applicable also to a 20MB-network in some time in the future, say ~3 years from now, if Bitcoin keeps taking off. If you agree that it will be harder in the future to change the block limit again, and we switch to hardcoded 20MB, then aren't we just going from an immediate relief to a future larger blockage? > > Now I'm going to go eat some dinner :) > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud > Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications > Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights > Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. > http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y > _______________________________________________ > Bitcoin-development mailing list > Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net > https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development >
