Personally, for privacy reasons I do not want to leave a footprint in the blockchain for each pizza. And why should this expense be good for trivial things of everyday life? Then what's the point? Isn't this supposed to be an Open transactional network, it doesn't matter if you don't want that,

Re: [Bitcoin-development] Is there a way to estimate the maximum number of transactions per minute Bitcoin can handle as it is today?

My concerns come from 2 projects that could easily raise the current transaction volume 10x daily in the short term, perhaps even 100x a year from now after the media blows it out. Think legal bittorrent file sales: ebooks, indie music (albums and singles), films, art, stock photography. Think

[Bitcoin-development] have there been complains about network congestion? (router crashes, slow internet when running Bitcoin nodes)

2014-04-08 Thread Angel Leon
I was wondering if the level of traffic a Bitcoin node gets is or will be so high that you have heard/will hear complains like the following: 1. a home router that crashes or slows down when its NAT pin-hole table overflows, triggered by many TCP connections. 2. a home router that
