RE: TPS Report #6: The Stratification
last I heard Steem was running at 11% 'strain' on the system
Why do you think that the blocksize would need to be increased?

The current max blocksize is 64kb. The system attempts to maintain block fullness at around 25%, or 16kb. Over the last few weeks we've been teetering on the 16kb line, hence the bandwidth issues. So at this point witnesses can grant users more bandwidth by increasing max block size. Witnesses may choose to not increase max block size if they are concerned about scalability. The cost to this is that users will get turned away.
aww...too bad.
What's too bad? Everything is working as designed, the main issue I see is that the bandwidth reserve ratio needs to be stabilized. And witnesses are handling this scale just fine so I don't foresee any issues with a block size increase soon.
that's what I meant
we RILLY need a sarcasm font!
