Way back in the beginning I said an ever growing block chain would cause unacceptable costs and inconvenience, and lo and behold, it is causing substantial and ever growing costs and inconvenience.
But look at the bright side! Every single transaction gets recorded and stored, until jesus destroys the universe (it's in the bible). What else can privacy advocates wish for?
Of course, restraining the block chain to manageable growth without losing other good characteristics is inherently hard, and it was a lot easier for me to point at the problem than to fix it.
