Okey dokey.  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.

You seem to be looking hard for reasons not to grow the block size-- 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)

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.
