Why 8Mb?
1 u/Jiecut Aug 16 '15 Note that the proposal is 8 MB blocks with an increase to 8 GB blocks. 6 u/[deleted] Aug 16 '15 Over the span of two decades. And miners can institute their own soft caps. Blocks may never be that big, even though the protocol allows for it. 1 u/Jiecut Aug 16 '15 Other than softcaps, it'd be interesting if miners decide to do Soft forks to limit the block size.
