Well , you refusing to pay the fees means that the block space can be available for someone who is willing to pay the increased fees . Seems like it ' s working to me , we certainly don ' t seem to be suffering from empty blocks . And granted , I would rather have 1 , 000 , 000 , 000 users than 1 , 000 , 000 users , but the technology simply can ' t scale well enough . The fee market is the method for determining who gets to participate given that we fundamentally can ' t allow everyone to participate without threatening the security of the network . <| sep |> all i know is i remember a certain SLN foundation putting up 2 , 000 , 000 dollars to find out if there was a glass ceiling are you shitting me ? 5 mnutes with me i coulda told them with eyes fuckin closed $ 2 , 000 , 000 woulda fed alot of homeless childrenHARVARD GET A FUCKIN CLUE monied grants are nice when they actually amount to something useful
