I am thinking that reducing the block time for BCH to 2.5 or 5 minutes would be helpful for those usecases where a single confirmation is need. Would also largely prevent these super slow blocks >1 hour.
Would this not damage existing long-term smart contracts? Wasn't this one of the objections to grasberg?
Yes. I don't think it's worth it. IMO developing pre-consensus mechanisms like double-spend proofs should be a priority.
Maybe. But how many longterm smart contracts do we actually have on BCH? Wouldn't the benefit outweigh the need for a few contracts to be cancelled/rewritten?
Any changes made now that jeopardise existing smart contracts (if there are any) would deter people from using BCH to make smart contracts in the future.
I fear this is a case of *perfect* being the enemy of *good*.
