It ' s just their size I think they ' re 2 x as large as a butt . Every single SMWS release that ' s come from a gorda has the same notes big gunpowder sulpher and umami I think of tomato . The umami must be from the sherry and the sulpher has to be from the disinfection process . I was always under the impression that using sulpher sticks to treat sherry casks died off many , many years ago , but perhaps they did it with these oversized barrels for efficiencyease sake ? <| sep |> Sure , not today . How about if the block size is 4 MB and the blockchain grows half a gigabyte a day , or 210 GByear ? Many people have data caps much more restrictive than that . And a 4 MB block size wouldn ' t even do much for the network , because the moment you increased it , malicious actors would start filling blocks again with spam transactions , just so that they can sow discord and attack the network via political means and it ' s a really good attack vector , as we can see . I ' m sure some big block proponents mean well , but you don ' t think there are some very powerful enemies of bitcoin very happy over what ' s going on right now ? . We need a good layer 2 solution . The blockchain doesn ' t need to record every coffee purchase .
