Towards Massive On-Chain Scaling: Block Propagation

In this post, we conclude our 5-part series with a discussion of why we believe Xthin can be leveraged today to facilitate up to 60 on-chain transactions per second (tps) and 20 MB blocks. This would provide significant relief for the currently-congested network (limited to 3 tps) and breathing room for off-chain scaling solutions to mature. We end with a peek at what’s coming next from Bitcoin Unlimited....

yeah, the usual blah blah blah from Peter R

Core has it's own version of this technology, without flaws that compromise mining security like "xthin"^(TM) does, not to mention it's poor success rate with propagating thin blocks at all, lol


How about this Peter: can you come up with actual good software engineering, instead of sexy marketing language for poor software engineering? What's that? You're going to copy Core's design? Much like the rest of the code in "Classic" then
