I see no value.

"minimum" an interesting topic.

- Traffic levels may not produce a minimum size block
- Miners can always collude to produce a lowered maximum block size, a sort of minimum maximum

Hey everyone,

as with the current "max block size" debate I was wondering: Is anyone here in favor of a minimum block size (say 2 MB or so)? If so I would be interested in an exchange (maybe off-list) of ideas. I am in favor of a lower limit and am giving it quite a bit of thought at the moment.

Cheers

Levin
