   Block size isn't a free parameter. The team behind btcd, a Bitcoin full node written in Go, made the following observations about block size [1]: 1. a 32 MB block, when filled with simple P2PKH transactions, can hold approximately 167,000 transactions, which, assuming a block is mined every 10 minutes, translates to approximately 270 tps 2. a single machine acting as a full node takes approximately 10 minutes to ver…

   > In any case, fixing the blocksize limit will be good This presumes the blocksize limit is being fixed, which is an incorrect assumption. Originally, the proponents of Classic wanted to boost block size limits to 20MB effective January 2016 [1], and used bombastic and divisive language, inventing their own crisis even, to get people to take them seriously. Interestingly, those same people are now contending for jus…

    The essential points underlying the overall argument are: 1) A more powerful programming language in the blockchain carries greater risk of bugs which could take down all nodes in the network, 2) multiple implementations are a bad idea, and 3) hard forks are a bad idea. Problem #1 has the most merit. Ethereum's implementation may not be the winner, but _someday_ there will be a block chain which has a powerful progr…
