block lock monero

2027 feels coming fast now
in the world that almost everything feels fast, we had one things that make us wait
which is monero 10-Block Lock

the question was. do we really still stuck and had no "wayout" from this one?
https://github.com/monero-project/research-lab/issues/95 seems we had one or two tweak to make.
been one long viewer of this git since 2022... and til now the lastest discussion seems 2025? so we not even came to close to eliminating block lock?

remove block lock when wen?

@Nebuchadnezzar_II agree. but but
last one mentioned about the security things too right? like finality layer that being discussed again after monero last block reorg

so i really sure. we had more than enough "wayout" to prevent it too.
if i not wrong, the main idea why block lock present is

  1. make it difficult to takeover the entire blockchain, and make invalidate the genuine chains
  2. to boost anonimity of the monero since earlier stage, we had smaller ringCT so it can be reveal by statistical attack on targetted people

but now, since we will had FCMP, and Bulletproofs++
it should be removed the number 2 on the list. and now takeover the entire block can be prevented too in much more different way. so with that in mind, did you agree that 10 block lock also need to be removed? it no longer beneficial for the community, instead it somehow act as limitation on monero

for merchant who suddenly had high transaction, he need to move/rotate the money immediately to get restocked. but if it can't be done since we had 10 block lock. and back then (this year for sure) i remember 10 block lock take almost 30+ minutes.

while btc, and litecoin, even can do it almost instantly. thats what concerning for me atleast.
for usual people, casual, and general ones, it may less than an issue, but for merchant, or someone who "literally doing something" 30 min almost mean, competitor win
