I am really a newbie on this thing and so far I need to clarify things. I haven't seen tps average anywhere here. Does it mean that the tau blockchain has not included it amongst to be criticizedor it is not relevant since it is POT? I think there are many coins out there who are also taking time to increase tps to allow faster and more convenient ways of dealing with personal and other matters. Second is that transaction power would be overloaded over time due to a more frequent transactions especially when it's high time to include taucoin in other exchanges thus increasing its fee. There was a time when i had too many small transactions in my account that it is not counted already. I read in the whitepaper about iTAU and i think it's great. Third it could be said that mining club leaders have the advantage for the distribution of coins per transactions. Also, regarding the Telegram bounty for communities, the owner of the group has the capacity to involve or not involve the rest of the community in its designated reward distribution. With regards to application of protocols and programs, I wish the devs have planned in advanced what courses to take especially that they have chosen POT as consensus mechanism over POW,POS and others. not that I think about involving the community is a bad idea but truth is, most of the time, without solid future plans, it slows the progress no matter how great the team is. Maybe we could also update the roadmap, shoud I say? And lastly mass adoption will require a lot of partnerships from big and small companies and entrepreneurs. A p2p-like transaction would be good example or a good start and these prospects in today's genaration are generally pointed towards the young people and young adults with exposure to their common interests like online shopping, gaming, ebooks, shared apps, music and video downloading, and other economic and societal and most especially governmental operations.
TPS is actually seriously considered in TAU. Our current client version supports transaction volume up to about 4000 per block, or 67 per second. As you said, transaction volume will grow after TAU-X and other exchange come into the game. White paper v0.4 has outlined some solutions to this, in Chapter 7 Section "Scalability". The basic idea is that transaction volume/fee increase can be detected and written into block header, so that block size or block time can be adjusted when needed.
And yes, business participation is important. TAU has start-up bounty for this purpose.
