Hello to everyone! Could you please advise about scalability of BIS? Thanks.
Can you be more precise?
What is your use case, what scale are you refering to?
I mean, how many transaction per second can handle BIS ?
Well, this metric is only useful for the currency use case I think.
Some coins are specifically targeting a huge tx throughput.
This is not an ultimate goal.
For Bismuth, see point 7
https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@aetsen/bismuth-developer-interview-hclivess(but Having an insane amount of tx per second is not a current bismuth goal)
What's more interesting is why you would need a huge tx throughput.
apart for mainstream currency use (which is just one small use case for a blockchain platform), this is not a real concern, at least atm.
If what you want before all (but you'll have to tell why, because it will come at the expanse of other metrics, or safety, or decentralization, or features) is a huge tx throughput,
then blockchains are not the best fit. Look into DAG instead.
As far as Bismuth is concerned, the core thing is that it's not built upon an existing protocol/platform with fixed limits.
Bismuth is a new protocol/platform, from scratch, evolving.
And it's evolving fast, with priorities shifting fast ,also.
What I mean, is that atm, tx throughput is not an issue, far from that.
So this is not a current dev priority and the metric makes no sense: it's more than the current usage requires, so the real metric is irrelevant.
IF (and only IF) it becomes an issue, then the team has many ways to answer the problems, and they will come quick.
Some work already is done, or under work, to reduce tx related bandwidth usage for instance.
Then, wait until you see what we have in our bag for Masternodes technology.
This tech could be used way further to offload a lot of tx, storage, bandwidth from the main chain, and that, will be a real game changer, way more than a single metric.
