Function to propose accepted maximum block size limit in Bitcoin blockchain.
'''
INITIAL IDEA:
Just to illustrate idea on how I believe the maximum block size should be determined.
My idea stems from a simple scalability metric that affects real users and the desire to use Bitcoin:
Waiting times to get your transactions confirmed on the blockchain.
Anything past 45mins-1 hour should be unnacceptable.
Initially I wanted to measure the mean time for the transactions in blocks to go from being sent by the user
(initial broadcast into mempools) until the transaction was effectively

Impulse Review

(That's my attempt to understand what problem Impulse solves and how. I am not a designer/developer of this scheme.)

Problem

Regular Bitcoin transactions are not guaranteed until mined sufficiently deep in the blockchain. Unconfirmed transactions can be observed nearly instantly, but they cannot be trusted (could drop out because of insufficient fees, or double-spent).

In terms of monetary policy, Bitcoin is the greatest money the world has ever seen.

Unsurprisingly, Bitcoin has gained substantial popularity, and there is no reason to believe it will not continue to grow. This growth is not merely a bubble.
