Nano has its own importance but there is reasonable philosophy behind the fees concept.Nano,will be indispensable with its robust infrastructure.

Still talking about this thread ))) Too much attention to the title. Moreover the team will not cover any questions here. Discord is more natural for cryptocurrencies and Nano's one is extremely active.

Will it change once the prefix on the addresses changes from "xrb_" to "nano_" ?

We already know the bottlenecks in Nano’s scaling and are coding the solutions.

Once we have finished the fixes and changes we are implementing, then we welcome stress tests as validation of the system

Bottlenecks are currently voting throughput, disk and database IO, primarily. We are working on enabling user-selectable database backends, which will allow for in-memory data storage, or other optimizable methods up to the user to choose. Voting throughput is to be improved by using 'vote stapling', where votes by reps are signed and distributed with blocks, such that when a node gets a new block that has already been voted on, it will no longer request voting confirmation once more from the representatives. We will be able to wrap all the votes up in a nice bundle and send new blocks with minimal vote traffic.

Additionally, Roy's lazy bootstrapping combined with Lee's top-down bootstrapping methods will enable nodes to only sync what they need to sync. So in events such as what happened today, the representatives vote on the new blocks, but not every node needs to get those blocks and store them. It’s another piece of the pruning pie. Nodes sending to burn addresses (like this time) would be effectively 'shouting into the void' as no account is looking to receive these transactions. Votes are cast and done. Nobody needs the blocks as nobody receives them. When historical nodes are ready, they can wait for the transaction storm to end and then bootstrap those accounts.

The 7k TPS number has been brought up numerous times - we reached that number months ago as a perfect conditions number, numerous changes to the protocol have been made since then and throughput has been affected. The network and protocol is not able to sustain that sort of throughput until we have completed optimizing everything. Some nodes wont keep up, others will. Once we are ready and everything is tested - then we can start publishing and marketing throughput.

If you are interested in simulating a stress test or want a network to spam, we enourage you to setup a Beta network node and play around as much as you like. The more nodes and representatives we get on the Beta network, the closer we get to simulating conditions on the Live network. More information at https://beta.nano.org

When BTC Jump to 7k , Nano Reaches Top 10 gainers of the market



$3.01

was $2.1

Next Movement will cross $3.5 . hopefully
