I=E2=80=99m looking to see if anyone = would be able to help me find potential flaws. =3D=3DAbstract=3D=3D This BIP proposes replacing the current static blocksize with a 2-part = blocksize algorithm to decide on the blocksize balancing power between = the miners and users. I propose an easy to implement solution for = reaching consensus based on a number of factors (or variables as you = programmy types like to call it). Transaction volume and buzzword usage have been growing in a heavily = correlated way for the past 6 years. If we were to base the blocksize = on the usage of buzzwords, we could grow the blocksize at a reasonable = rate to scale with demand. I have outlined specifics at = https://github.com/whitj00/bips/blob/master/bip-whit.mediawiki Thanks, Whit=
