I see no reason for fee pressure to&#xA;exist at the moment. All it&#39;s doing is turning away users for no purpose:&#xA;mining isn&#39;t supported by fees, and the tiny fees we use right now seem to&#xA;be good enough to stop penny flooding.&#xA;&#xA;Why not set the max size to be 20x the average size? Why 2x, given you just&#xA;pointed out that&#39;d result in blocks shrinking rather than growing.&#xA;-------------- next part --------------&#xA;An HTML attachment was scrubbed...&#xA;URL: &lt;http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20150528/1e8e17c3/attachment.html&gt;</html></oembed>
