It took several years before bitcoin reached the need for 7tps, see
https://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions?timespan=all In fact, during the first 3 years it never needed more than 0.1tps (0.1tps = 8640 transactions per day). It is the same with HEAT, there is not a need for 7tps right now, but it can already do 7tps. HEAT uses memory-mapped files and has reached 1000tps and more in tests in local networks. What slows it down in a network spanning large geographical regions (satellite communication) is the peer-to-peer communication, but that bottleneck can be improved as the need for higher tps arises (always on connections, better protocol, ...). I am confident that the devs will deliver according to the original whitepaper, which is here:
http://heatledger.com/HEATWhitepaper.pdf A public roadmap will be published soon (within a week according to information from Slack channel) and that should hopefully clarify the priorities in the coming months.
Yeah you know what, maybe in that case you shouldn't brag with 1000tps then in the first place. We were lured into this shit with the promise that this shit could do 1000tps ON RELEASE and not 10 years after that! Every project can claim to do 1000tps in 10 years, I think even bitcoin will do 1000tps in a few years, maybe with Raiden and Lightning network even this year!
While waiting for a new UI release due out very soon, here's a new HEAT crypto roundup:
http://heatledger.ghost.io/crypto-roundup-22/Never mind our DCB's got HEAT's sliced blockchains wrong as "sidechains".
About tps: The maximum genuine transaction rate per second in p2p data networks that span the globe is even theoretically below 3 tps limited by the speed of light (signal speed in medium such as optic fibre + processing). The HEAT engine is currently capable of processing multi thousand tps on a single node and several hundreds of tps on closely connected nodes with a network connection that can support such speeds. By bundling such locally created transactions and sending the batches over the global decentralized network, we're able to surpass the speed of light in transaction processing speed
a property which will become the scalability evolution of the HEAT core when required.
Currently, as promised, the "HEAT blockchain is able to sustain transaction throughput of at least 1000 tps 24/7" is factual - we use the technology already on corporate adaptations such as testing boost forex trade speeds on a single isolated node on the ABN AMRO project. We'll have benchmarking facilities available to test the core blockchain tx processing rate, so every user will be able to test how many transactions per second his node is exactly able to support. Variation due to hardware differences can be rather high, as "HEAT's unbounded vertical scalability is only limited by the performance of the hardware used" (from the heatledger.com web site).
I call bullshit! "Single isolated node"... I see... "speed of light"... Yeah, right...
