RE: BitMEX dumped their BCH and credited all users!

in #bitcoin7 years ago

Given enough time, BCH will have the same issue with blockk sizes filling up. Added to this, if you know how blockchains work well enough you will know that bigger block sizes lead to centralization with the people with the most powerful computer nodes having more control. BCH really did take the easier way out by increasing the block size. Look into segwit and segwit wallets, this should help you out with the transactions. Food for thought.

The hard coded block size limit is 32 MB in Bitcoin Cash. This may prove to be an issue at some point in the future - and exponential growth of the block chain may indeed become an issue. At the other hand, given enough time, there are lots of optimizations on the BCH roadmap reducing the implact of bigger blocks - and if Lightning really does prove to work out, there is no problem to roll it out on Bitcoin Cash, too.
