You should rename your file to something like "bip-draft-dynamic-rate-lookup". Using an arbitrary BIP number will cause confusion when that BIP number is actually assigned later. On Friday, 17 July 2015, at 3:50 pm, David Barnes | Bitcoin Co. Ltd. via bitcoin-dev wrote: > I picked up the next

What are you trying to do? Break the ice with a hard fork so that later it becomes easier to do so, with people more complacent towards it? There are many solutions to the scaling problem that do not require a hard fork and are quite simple to implement actually, and don't come with the complicatio

Transaction sizes are still limited to 1MB with this patch. While this isn't technically a change, it does mean that both are no longer linked together. Since this has no voting step, I assume the intention is that as a compromise suggestion, it would have full support. It establishes a preceden

I'd back this if we can't find a permanent solution - 2MB gives us a lot more wiggle room in the interim at least; one of my concerns with block size is 3 transactions per second is absolutely tiny, and we need space for the network to search for an equilibrium between volume and pricing withou

I would prefer a dynamic solution that did not necessitate a second hard fork down the road. I propose doubling the block size every 100k blocks (~2 years) block 400,000 = 2MB (2016) block 500,000 = 4MB (2017) block 600,000 = 8MB (2018) Chris On Fri, Jul 17, 2015 at 1:57 PM, Ross Nicoll via bi

I'll leave others to comment on whether we can get consensus on that, but your years listed are inconsistent with everything else you've written. Should be: block 400,000 = 2MB (2016) block 500,000 = 4MB (2018) block 600,000 = 8MB (2020) On 17/07/2015 20:06, Chris Wardell via bitcoin-dev wrote

When blocks are found under or over the 10 minute threshold, hashing difficulty is raised or reduced dinamically to keep a balance. This intelligent measure has avoided us having discussions and kept a balance. The same way you can't assume how much hashpower there will be to find the next blocks,
