*sigh*

You know, this is prime example of why people like you shouldn't enter an engineering debate. But just to humour you, I'll explain.

Whenever you're scaling a system, you want to think of ways and methods to increase number of users at least with an order of magnitude, i.e. at least 10x. Now, let's take an example in which I can clearly explain the concept. You have a factory, where you use 1000 workers to put together some product. Your product is useful, and there's far more demand than you can supply, you have to upgrade. Increasing the blocksize would be the equivalent of hiring 1000 workers. You would have to build a brand new factory in order to house them, which would be extremely expensive, but in the end, you could be producing twice as many Bullshits™.

Ok, so you might naively think that this is a good solution, but it really isn't. It's not even what we call "scaling" in engineering, because even in the best case scenario, you could only linearly increase your output (and in fact, there's a point where you can't build new factories, because there's no more land to build on, or because people are mad that your Bullshit™ factories are popping up everywhere and are ruining the landscape or something.

Ok, so you have to come up with something. You don't have the room to hire new people, but if you switch up the layout of your factory, you could actually fit twice as many people in there. This layout switch wouldn't be particularly expensive, as it doesn't require new architecture, legislation or whatever, you can do it swiftly overnight. (~soft fork) With this, you could fit like 2000 ppl in there. This is SegWit. It's not bad, because at least you produce twice as much Bullshit™ as you were before, and you didn't even have to build a new factory, but it's not going to be enough.

Selection bias. Most engineers are actually conservative, but they keep their mouths shut because they don't want to lose their fucking jobs.

Wait, couple of things, just to clear things up.
1) Is licking ass sodomy? Because hell, here I fucking come, it makes my dick diamonds
2) Is putting a finger into a girl's ass sodomy?
3) Is the act of putting your penis into a girl's rectum a sin? If so, why?

All I see this doing is 10x'ing the price of privacy coins

I think as BTC is getting bigger, the dips and pumps will become bigger and more drawn out as well. What lasted 1 months tops last year will be 3-6 months this year, and even more later. Probably will top out somewhere around 1 year cycles but maybe not. But I think this is the trend we're in.

Hey /biz/ I need some advice

In my town we do have several places that are TCG friendly or TCG places how ever thats all they are or a comic store. I want the same thing however I want to give entertainment to an older generation of players.

I've heard of a few around the U.S. and it sounds cool so far and they work out fairly well.

I'm thinking this cause there are a few places literally in walking distance that would work out well.

>What are you selling?

a service of TCGs and gaming

>what's your goal?

entertainment

>do you have any experience of selling stuff or yourself?

a little bit. Not a whole lot but I have been able to sell things and be able to convience them what is good/bad


>what is your demographic?

Any one that likes any type of games including TCGs/card games and table tops

im not looking to make so much as a bunch of money as much as I want to enjoy my time there and make things work. Like how much would it take to start a business like this? I'm thinking something around 20k right?
im not expecting this to be an over night thing
