I ran some simulations, and I could not find a network topology where a big miner producing big blocks could cause a loss of profit to another miner (big or small) producing smaller blocks: http://gavinandresen.ninja/are-bigger-blocks-better-for-bigger-miners (the 0.3% advantage I DID find was for the situation where EVERYBODY was producing big blocks). > We think > the max block size should be increased, but must be increased > smoothly, 2 MB first, and then after one or two years 4 MB, then 8 MB, > and so on. Thanks. Why 2 MB ? You said that server bandwidth is much more expensive in China; what would be the difference in your bandwidth costs between 2MB blocks and 20MB blocks? -- -- Gavin Andresen
