It shows that even 4MB is unsafe. &#xA;&gt;     SegWit provides up to this limit.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;     8MB is most definitely not safe today.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;     Whether it is unsafe or impossible is the topic, since Wang Chun&#xA;&gt;     proposed making the block size limit 32MiB.  &#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;     Wang Chun,&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;     Can you specify what meeting you are talking about?

Who were the participants?&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;          &#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;         Removing the limit but relying on the p2p protocol is not&#xA;&gt;         really a true 32MiB limit, but a limit of whatever transport&#xA;&gt;         methods provide.  This can lead to differing consensus if&#xA;&gt;         alternative layers for relaying are used.  What you seem to be&#xA;&gt;         asking for is an unbound block size (or at least determined by&#xA;&gt;         whatever miners produce).  This has the possibility (and even&#xA;&gt;         likelihood) of removing many participants from the network,&#xA;&gt;         including many small miners.  &#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;          &#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;         32MB in less than 3 years also appears to be far beyond limits&#xA;&gt;         of safety which are known to exist far sooner, and we cannot&#xA;&gt;         expect hardware and networking layers to improve by those&#xA;&gt;         amounts in that time.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;          &#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;         It also seems like it would be much better to wait until&#xA;&gt;         SegWit activates in order to truly measure the effects on the&#xA;&gt;         network from this increased capacity before committing to any&#xA;&gt;         additional increases.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;          &#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;         -Alphonse&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;          &#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;          &#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;          &#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;         On Tue, Mar 28, 2017 at 11:59 AM, Wang Chun via bitcoin-dev&#xA;&gt;         &lt;bitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org&#xA;&gt;         &lt;mailto:bitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org&gt;&gt; wrote:&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;             I&#39;ve proposed this hard fork approach last year in Hong&#xA;&gt;             Kong Consensus&#xA;&gt;             but immediately rejected by coredevs at that meeting,&#xA;&gt;             after more than&#xA;&gt;             one year it seems that lots of people haven&#39;t heard of it.&#xA;&gt;             So I would&#xA;&gt;             post this here again for comment.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;             The basic idea is, as many of us agree, hard fork is risky&#xA;&gt;             and should&#xA;&gt;             be well prepared. We need a long time to deploy it.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;             Despite spam tx on the network, the block capacity is&#xA;&gt;             approaching its&#xA;&gt;             limit, and we must think ahead. Shall we code a patch&#xA;&gt;             right now, to&#xA;&gt;             remove the block size limit of 1MB, but not activate it&#xA;&gt;             until far in&#xA;&gt;             the future. I would propose to remove the 1MB limit at the&#xA;&gt;             next block&#xA;&gt;             halving in spring 2020, only limit the block size to 32MiB&#xA;&gt;             which is&#xA;&gt;             the maximum size the current p2p protocol allows. This&#xA;&gt;             patch must be&#xA;&gt;             in the immediate next release of Bitcoin Core.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;             With this patch in core&#39;s next release, Bitcoin works just&#xA;&gt;             as before,&#xA;&gt;             no fork will ever occur, until spring 2020. But everyone&#xA;&gt;             knows there&#xA;&gt;             will be a fork scheduled. Third party services, libraries,&#xA;&gt;             wallets and&#xA;&gt;             exchanges will have enough time to prepare for it over the&#xA;&gt;             next three&#xA;&gt;             years.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;             We don&#39;t yet have an agreement on how to increase the&#xA;&gt;             block size&#xA;&gt;             limit. There have been many proposals over the past years,&#xA;&gt;             like&#xA;&gt;             BIP100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105, 106, 107, 109, 148, 248,&#xA;&gt;             BU, and so&#xA;&gt;             on. These hard fork proposals, with this patch already in&#xA;&gt;             Core&#39;s&#xA;&gt;             release, they all become soft fork. We&#39;ll have enough time&#xA;&gt;             to discuss&#xA;&gt;             all these proposals and decide which one to go. Take an&#xA;&gt;             example, if we&#xA;&gt;             choose to fork to only 2MB, since 32MiB already scheduled,&#xA;&gt;             reduce it&#xA;&gt;             from 32MiB to 2MB will be a soft fork.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;             Anyway, we must code something right now, before it&#xA;&gt;             becomes too late.&#xA;&gt;             _______________________________________________&#xA;&gt;             bitcoin-dev mailing list&#xA;&gt;             bitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org&#xA;&gt;             &lt;mailto:bitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org&gt;&#xA;&gt;             https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev&#xA;&gt;             &lt;https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;          &#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;     _______________________________________________&#xA;&gt;     bitcoin-dev mailing list&#xA;&gt;     bitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org&#xA;&gt;     &lt;mailto:bitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org&gt;&#xA;&gt;     https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev&#xA;&gt;     &lt;https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; _______________________________________________&#xA;&gt; bitcoin-dev mailing list&#xA;&gt; bitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org&#xA;&gt; https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev&#xA;&#xA;-- &#xA;Zcash wallets made simple: https://github.com/Ayms/zcash-wallets&#xA;Bitcoin wallets made simple: https://github.com/Ayms/bitcoin-wallets&#xA;Get the torrent dynamic blocklist: http://peersm.com/getblocklist&#xA;Check the 10 M passwords list: http://peersm.com/findmyass&#xA;Anti-spies and private torrents, dynamic blocklist: http://torrent-live.org&#xA;Peersm : http://www.peersm.com&#xA;torrent-live: https://github.com/Ayms/torrent-live&#xA;node-Tor : https://www.github.com/Ayms/node-Tor&#xA;GitHub : https://www.github.com/Ayms&#xA;&#xA;-------------- next part --------------&#xA;An HTML attachment was scrubbed...&#xA;URL: &lt;http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20170329/a4a9932b/attachment-0001.html&gt;</html></oembed>
