Let me get this straight bitcoin can only be transacted 600k times per day? That seems really lowTitle: Re: WTF ... SWIFT only capable of 15 Millions of transactions per day ?

The current protocol has a 1MB limit on block sizes that puts an upper limit on the number of transactions that can be confirmed per day. Title: Re: WTF ...

And that's why the "gavincoin" fork is proposed. Title: Re: WTF ... SWIFT only capable of 15 Millions of transactions per day ? Post by: ebliever on March 13, 2015, 02:29:43 AM Gavin's proposal to raise the block size limit from 1 MB to 20 MB will obviously help, as would things like sidechain technology. So the limit for bitcoin is of minor consequence and can be changed (with due notice) at any time. It's a non-issue, like the people who fret about bitcoin not being divisible enough beyond 1 satoshi.
