Sharp Forks & Articmine on Monero’s Adaptive Blockweight
summary
Compares concrete fork types with a social taxonomy that explains why some projects stay cohesive and why others split, and details Monero’s actual scaling design: Bulletproofs shrink on-chain bytes while verification time scales linearly, so Monero prices cost via a block weight/clawback that re-adds verification cost to block accounting. Claims dynamic block weight survived a 2014 attack and rose to ~400,000 in 2018, argues Monero’s privacy makes transactions roughly 5× Bitcoin’s size yet still permits burst-handling via a 50× headroom parameter.
