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?

@nemesis maybe just careless from your side which is understandable.... some westerner tend to do it
instead they do optimization, and make flow shorter and simpler, they just want to scale. which almost all my western client do.

they seems doesn't care about optimization. i still remember when 1+ year working for some partner from germany "why i get choosen if the competitor of mine was having higher skills"

all he said is just i love making some cutting edge and efficiency. other server manager that he hire, asked to upgrade almost all spec, (which is not wrong), while i just want he to upgrade network port speed and disk size. back then server 1 core, 2GB ram, 100GB storage even can handle 10k concurrent traffic with "almost intense" read write... while the other guy who managing it want to upgrade the spec towards 2-4Core, 8++GB ram and else....

maybe you just don't get it since you seems never doing merchant things. which is understandable. its better to discuss something else for sure. not all people understand all type of topic. funny to see how merchant need to wait 10block lock before can moving his own money, and then suddenly out of the blue yet yelled as poor planning... poorly managed business? lol i think enough, discussion isn't even moving at all... no single explanation
no single argument from what example i already bring...

for "one more thing, even if the lock would be eliminated, it wouldn't happen anytime soon, so its still something you will have to deal with until that time, should that time come."
yeah completely agree with you. it need deep research for sure. but earlier discussion come far on past.... its make no sense that we almost had no "unique" feature. if i not forget, the last big feature release 2 years ago(?) thats why good idea should be discussed. or they think it had no single fan

so yeah its my overall opinion about block lock....
maybe just like other topic like...
"adding 2FA on forum"
ofc its critical security feature
but still some people yelling that
"They can just make new account, its free. etc"
or
"2fa doesn't increase the security, they just increase difficulty when we're about to login"

welp.... something like that.... wrong way of thinking. if someone doesn't need 2FA, it doesn't mean whole world doesn't need it. if someone doesn't care about account security doesn't mean whole world doesn't care about it too, but since we're at monero forum... its free speak i guess

@UsualCat um its you who clearly doesn't understand how to run a business. You want code change instead of doing proper planning. Its your business. Its on you to make it work, not on devs to change code to suit your needs. Its just reality. You may not like that you can't fly, but the laws of physics are a reality you must operate within. And again, even if there was a change to eliminate the lock, you're gonna have to figure things out until then. There are other XMR only businesses out there. They make it work. And so can you, if and only if, you accept reality and work within those parameters.

That said, what the hell is this supposed to mean?

maybe just careless from your side which is understandable.... some westerner tend to do it

I'm trying to help you out, and you wanna try to insult me on some bullshit?
