      It’s entirely possible.

      The short answer is: New blockchain.

      The long answer is MUCH more interesting.

      Because the coins are being destroyed, the existing ones become more valuable. As the rate of deflation increases, the cost of publishing skyrockets until it becomes unfeasible. Also, you’re rich.

      But let’s do the math. If 15 bytes is 1 satoshi, there’s 336 million FTC possible. 336,000,000 * 10,000,000 = 3,360,000,000,000,000 bytes. or a little over a little over 3.3 exabytes.

      And that the FTC blockchain. What about InifiniteCoin? DogeCoin? NotYetInventedCoin?

      I think it’s a problem people will decide how to deal with later. You can’t stop people from spending coins, so it’s a problem for the free market to solve using free market dynamics, like supply and demand.

              I’ve read about 10 minutes and it’s full of haters irate over the fact that they’ve failed to comprehend what Link is/does and are attacking a red herring [i]they[/i] created in their responses. Too funny.

                My favourite is this, from Gavin Andresen himself, who actually didn’t even bother to read about it in detail and just assumed it was intended strictly for Bitcoin.

                [sub]Or at least that’s how I understood it. What I don’t understand is how SatoshiDice transaction bloat is OK, but something like this isn’t?[/sub]

                      People rushing to judgement without proper research + a closed social circle sheep mentality.
                      r/Bitcoin is very circlejerky already.
                      The good thing is that it has started a discussion.
                      The seed has been planted.

                        Well, I meant I made a submission to the Link project properOMGSOMEONEGOFINDIT

                        As for /r/Bitcoin itself, give a few days and someone “in” will talk about it and it’ll get proclaimed as the Second Coming of Crust.

                              I’m already using the site proper that Kevlar linked those who contributed to. I made a submission to the blockchain.

                                  It’s like some dude that was involved in working on improving the Gutenberg press in 1440 saying, “K, guyz, don’t use dis 2 printz erotica 'n stuff, k?”

                                  [sub]Which, again, I’ll have to reiterate a previous comment I made where I said that the idea of a Bitcoin Foundation is kind of a bad one. It’s showing someone is taking ownership of something that wasn’t meant to be owned or centralized.[/sub]

                                    If only Satoshi had made the code open source so that anyone could have a go at setting up a global dialogue with a self stabilising consensus and then let the people decide through their collective action who should win.

                                    If only it were easier to get to the top than it were to stay there. If only we weren’t ruled by tyrants at the mercy of their fear desperate for power and control.

                                      I don’t want to sound alarmist - but it’s a cyclical thing. Historically speaking. And I see it happening to some extent with Bitcoin. The human aspect in its maintenance is prone to human fallacies - weaknesses - greed and ego.

                                        But those cycles are getting a lot shorter. And short enough to provide opportunity for adaptation within our own lifetimes rather than it being intergenerational. Change is the new normal and the rate of change is accelerating. Learn or die.
