It's still hard to believe these weirdos are genuinely pushing for extra unnecessary steps in the typical transaction process which only result in the enrichment of the third party and don't improve the transaction itself in any way.

Centralized bitcoin exchanges are the dumbest thing. The whole point of a trustless peer-to-peer system is so you don't have to give a single centralized third party, like a bank, control over your money. If you're just going to hand over all your internet tokens to a total stranger anyway and hope for the best you might as well just keep real money in real banks where there's at least 100+ years of legal protection, insurance, and recourse available to you if the bank decides to steal it one day.

Centralization is completely unavoidable as a matter of scale. They can't have it both ways of being decentralized and also adopted en masse.

nexous posted:Without centralization they might hit the 7 transaction/sec limit This is probably a question for divabot, but isn't that limit arbitrary? It's just a hard-coded number someone picked because you need some target to set the difficulty of the number-guessing game, and Bitcoin was just a proof of concept running on a few computers. Why not pick a higher number now that there's gazillions of processors guessing numbers.

Oh well now that I think about it there might be a perverse incentive. If you want fork the code to change the transaction limit, you need to get most of the miners to agree to switch. And since transaction fees are paid to the miners, who have large electricity costs, more transactions per second is probably going to mean lower fees per transaction. So they'd probably be against it, at least if they are depending on the fees. But idk if they make their money from fees or from the new bitcoins that are created and awarded to the winner. E: evilweasel posted:No, it has to do with the block size not the difficulty. The difficulty has nothing at all to do with the tps. Oh maybe I just don't know how it works. I thought the way they set the difficulty is by looking at transactions per second. If a bunch of new computers connect and start verifying blocks faster then the difficulty is increased to get it back down. Well then my question is why don't they increase the block size or whatever it would take to increase tps E2: Ok nevermind Wikipedia has an explanation of the problem and why it's hard to change it https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitcoin_scalability_problem VitalSigns fucked around with this message at 22:54 on Aug 26, 2022 |

Its silly its ideological because its clear it will never quite scale but its also ideological for real deal crypto impacts. Larger block size and or quicker block time aggravate the effects of the consequences of needing to pick which chain is realer when multiple chain solutions are found simultaneously for several generations. The rules of thumb like 'wait 3 confirmations' mutate and would possibly result in a chain that isn't really scaled, not really, because you now need to be extra sure the chain is set and not going to be supplanted by a realer chain that is maybe just time lagged from your geography.

I mean they have tried to increase the block size before, it almost always gets shot down and spunoff to an irrelevant fork because changing the block size means the majority of mining is ASIC driven, which means that they have specialized microcircuits dedicated to handling blocks of the current size that suddenly no longer work with the current scheme.

Yeah reading over the wiki page and some of the news articles in there, it seems the debate is between people who want more transactions per second because it would make bitcoin more usable as a currency and people who are against this because they want to discourage people from spending bitcoin to make them hodl instead. Lmao. Also the more transactions people keep losing the argument and trying to fork off their own bitcoin with blackjack and hookers.

Huh. I always just assumed that .eth was some ultra-slow mess that just amounted to resolving a fake address to a functioning TLD via smart-contract. I should have realized they always have to add extra levels of convoluted failure.
