Here's a simple proposal to start discussion from... BEFORE block 262144: - Never make a block that, combined with the previous 4 blocks, results in over 4500 transaction modifications. - Reject any block that includes more than 4500 transaction modifications on its own (slight soft-fork) - (these rules should make older clients safe under most circumstances)
FROM block 262144 to block 393216 (hard fork #1): - Never make, and reject any block that includes more than 24391 transaction modifications on its own (this *should* be equivalent to 1 MB) - (this rules can make older client backports safe unless a reorg is more than 6 blocks deep) FROM block 393216 onward (hard fork #2): - Never make, and reject any block that includes more than 48781 transaction modifications on its own (this *should* be equivalent to 2 MB) - Accept blocks up to 2 MB in data size - Discontinue support for clients prior to 0.8.1 I intentionally set the block numbers conservatively to try to account for the yet-unseen ASIC upgrade.
