      seems that bike-shedding proposals are more accessible to discuss. @johnsonlau01 proposal is hard to understand to non protocol detail guys.

      How is SegWit2MB "bikeshedding?" That term refers to giving weight to trivial issues. We are here talking about the central issue.

      There should be a term for giving undue weight -- indeed, obsessing -- over seemingly simple things that you don't actually understand.

      Hint: block size is not the central issue. The secure integrity of a global currency is the central issue.

      Lightning also needs scaling the base layer as well so most channels will be comprised of a dozen transactions

      security question: do you understand that most security properties are lost if users can not keep up with validation?

      We do and will publish information on this subject to discuss it openly. Any good analysis on block size vs security / descentralization?

      Why would you make this proposal without having already seen a security analysis or done your own?

          curious how you secure unlimited sized blocks without degrading security. short of a new STARK proposal I'm not aware of it being possible.

          It is not possible. Secure replication requires secure broadcast. We desperately need computer science here not naive coding skills.
