I have tried to solve the maximum block size debate in two different proposal. i. Depending only on previous block size calculation. ii. Depending on previous block size calculation and previous Tx fee collected by miners. Proposal 1: Depending only on previous block size calculation If more than 50% of block's size, found in the first 2000 of the last difficulty period, is more than 90% MaxBlockSize Double MaxBlockSize Else if more than 90% of block's size, found in the first 2000 of the last difficulty period, is less than 50% MaxBlockSize Half MaxBlockSize Else Keep the same MaxBlockSize Proposal 2: Depending on previous block size calculation and previous Tx fee collected by miners TotalTxFeeInLastButOneDifficulty = Sum of all Tx fees of first 2008 blocks in last 2 difficulty period TotalTxFeeInLastDifficulty = Sum of all Tx fees of second 2008 blocks in last 2 difficulty period (This actually includes 8 blocks from last but one difficulty) If ( ( (Sum of first 4016 block size in last 2 difficulty period)/4016 > 50% MaxBlockSize) AND (TotalTxFeeInLastDifficulty > TotalTxFeeInLastButOneDifficulty) ) MaxBlockSize = TotalTxFeeInLastDifficulty * MaxBlockSize / TotalTxFeeInLastButOneDifficulty Else If ( ( (Sum of first 4016 block size in last 2 difficulty period)/4016 < 50% MaxBlockSize) AND (TotalTxFeeInLastDifficulty < TotalTxFeeInLastButOneDifficulty) ) MaxBlockSize = TotalTxFeeInLastDifficulty * MaxBlockSize / TotalTxFeeInLastButOneDifficulty Else Keep the same MaxBlockSize Details: http://upalc.com/maxblocksize.php Requesting for comment.
