Bitcoin : The “Block Size Debate” seems like a farse.
The truth is, we’re not debating what the block size should be. We’re debating what the block size **cap** should be.
During the BCH stress test, we had the throughput in txs to produce 32MB+ blocks but miners either weren’t ready or didn’t see an economical benefit to make blocks that big. Either way, the **cap** that we had set, 32MB didn’t even matter. With miners ultimately making the decision on the size of blocks they mine, why do we even have a cap?
Why is anyone talking about what the cap should be? The blocks will grow with natural use.
If there **must** be a cap, could we formulate a cap that is a percentage increase over the current average blocksize?
For example (hypothetically), we set the cap to 500%-1500% the size of the average block over the past X number of blocks.
Or something similar to that?
I feel that this would let the system naturally grow as intended.
