		theseatoms on July 15, 2015 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Bitcoin Trends in the First Half of 2015 Are there plans for a second stress test? It probably doesn't make sense to run it again until we have reason to expect different results. Other than increased block-size, is there something that could improve these results? More full nodes?

More full nodes would not solve the problem. Raising the maximum block size is the only real solution, although paying $0.02 per transaction instead of $0.01 until the "attackers" stop isn't such a bad thing. Especially compared to potential downsides to raising the maximum block size.
