03:59:01 Thank you! 04:03:46 Is the "penalty median" the long-term median weight of the last 100K blocks used in the penalty calculation ? 05:04:19 It is the true penalty median, calculated Mn = min(Ms, 50 * Ml). The stressnet never grew past the default long term median limit of 15MB (50 * 300k = 15M), so the penalty median for the stressnet was always equal to the short term median of 100 blocks. We never got the blocks large enough for the long term median to matter. 05:41:14 oh, there is an upper limit? The description here made it seem more simplistic https://docs.getmonero.org/technical-specs/#block-size 05:46:21 Under the status quo blockchain conditions, the penalty median is limited to 15MB by the long term median. The long term median of 100K blocks will not increase until you have 50K larger blocks. Monero produces ~720 blocks each day, so that takes about 70 days. The actual limit on block size is 2 * M_N, or 30MB. 05:49:44 There is no permanent upper limit to Monero block size, but in the near future there is an upper limit. Recent tx volume has been small, which means there is a limit of 30MB for the next 70 days, until the long term median can increase.
