General Discussion / Re: October 2nd Test Network
« on: October 04, 2015, 09:40:41 pm »You may be right clayop, but do we need to concern ourselves with that right now? IMO it's more important to address the functionality and feature set that will be available at launch.
Out of the gate we probably won't require 1000 TPS. I do recognize that is only 10% of our claims, and if we DID have a massive response on the launch and we couldn't handle it, it would be very bad indeed.
I'm not sure where the best balance is and what our testing goals should be, but I think we need to get serious very quickly and figure that out, devise a plan to reach those goals and coordinate our efforts to achieve them.
Exactly.. and if each tx costs $0.01, 100 TPS "attacks" cost $1/second, or $3,600/hr.
Well, that's not really expensive... 3600 USD will give you:
1 hour of 100TPS attack or... 30 seconds of 12000 TPS attack. Is that not enough to bring down the network?
We can thank them for the money and resurrect the network from the last block
