Most significantly, bitcoin cash boasts
a block size parameter limit eight times larger than that of bitcoin.
For one, Bitcoin Cash supporters often overlap with the members of bitcoin's scaling debate who have historically supported a bigger
block size parameter.
In that way, Bitcoin Cash might attract more support in the future if the Segwit2x scaling proposal fails to boost
the block size parameter.
Bitcoin Unlimited differs from Bitcoin Core in that
the block size parameter is not hard - coded — nodes and miners flag support for the size that they want.
They argue that an immediate
block size parameter increase would go a long way toward achieving that.
In this light, some see Bitcoin Cash as a possible backup plan if Segwit2x goes awry before
the block size parameter increase expected in three months.
SegWit could effectively increase the volume of transactions that fit into each block without raising
the block size parameter.
Bitcoin Unlimited differs from Bitcoin Core in that
the block size parameter is not hard - coded - nodes and miners flag support for the size that they want.
At first, many had the same impression, since bitPico had been a vocal supporter of a controversial scaling initiative, and had continued to espouse the benefits of increasing
the block size parameter, even after most network participants ditched the effort.
Not exact matches
In May 2015, Bitcoin Magazine reported that Bitcoin Core developers were disagreeing on the optimal
block size, a
parameter that is directly related to the throughput of the Bitcoin network.
This formalism can be used to algorithmically determine the best value of a certain
parameter (e.g., a
block size limit) which will be considered appropriate by all voters.
The value of the
block size limit (and, potentially, other
parameters of the protocol) found this way will satisfy voters provided the dissatisfaction function is chosen appropriately.
Dryja suggested that the community should start first by drawing rough
parameters on the
size of
blocks it is willing to «agree are crazy», ruling out
sizes of 1 kilobyte or as big as 1 petabyte.
In conclusion, the paper suggests that the process of reworking the
parameters of
block size and transaction intervals is only a first step toward achieving «next - generation, high - load blockchain protocols», and that for bitcoin to make major advances it will require a «basic rethinking» of the underlying code.
based on certain prescribed
parameters until consensus regarding the
block size to use at the time emerges (hence the name).
In a nutshell, Emergent Consensus is a mechanism where miners and full nodes essentially haggle on an appropriate
block size based on certain prescribed
parameters until consensus regarding the
block size to use at the time emerges (hence the name).
