My latest straw-man proposal is 40% per year growth for 20 years. That seems like a reasonable compromise based on current conditions and trends. @p{par} You seem to be looking hard for reasons not to grow the block size@p{--} for example, yes, CPU clock speed growth has stopped. But number of cores put onto a chip continues to grow, so Moore's Law continues. (and the reference implementation already uses as many cores as you have to validate transactions) @p{par} PS: I got positive feedback from a couple of full-time, professional economists on my "block size economics" post, it should be up tomorrow or Friday. @p{brk}
