Hello! Please tell me, DASH can be scaled as a BSV to 14,000 transactions per second?
BSV does the upscaling by upgrading its blocksize from 128MB blocksize to 2GB blocksize and in a later stage plans to have its blocksize uncapped altogether.
Problem is that very few transactions occur on BSV's network to justify this blocksize upgrade and it could end up being very costly for full nodes operators
to keep their full nodes up and running (just think about the costs for all that increased data storage and server renting), which will cause a decline in BSV number of full nodes and
will therefore lead to centralization of its network.
Current size of BSV blockchain : 191.97 GB (

Current number of BSV full nodes : 455 (

Max number of transactions per second with 2Gb blocksize* : 9000-14,000
* a lot of BSV miners have their blocksize hard cap set to 512MB, not 2Gb. So this theoretical 9000-14,000 is most likely a lot lower
This is an interesting article about BSV versus Bitcoin :

Dash scaled by increasing its blocksize from 1mb size to 2mb size some time ago, but also just like BSV rarely max out its blocksize.

https://bitinfocharts.com/comparison/size-dash.html#1y But Dash rewards its full nodes for staying online and by providing services to the network, which gives Dash a very strong and decentralized network. According ASU research
(
https://asunow.asu.edu/20180731-asu-and-dash-publish-new-research-blockchain-scalability), Dash can upgrade its blocksize at least five times without requiring higher hardware
requirements from its masternode network. This means Dash can upscale to 40 times the capacity of the Bitcoin network
Current size of Dash blockchain : 15.3 GB (
https://bitinfocharts.com/)
Current number of Dash masternodes : 4923 (

By increasing its blocksize from 1mb to 2 mb size, Dash can currently handle 56 transactions per second.
Since Dash already researched the impacts of upgrading from 2mb to 10mb and concluded its safe to do so if ever necessary, it means Dash can upgrade its transactions per second
from 56 to 280 if it ever needs to (when its blocks are getting full).
This is the largest difference between BSV and Dash, BSV increases to very high blocksize that most of its miners cant support and which will bring higher costs
to its full nodes operators, who are starting to close their full nodes (why support a BSV full node, when you are not getting paid for it and you only see the costs ballooning upwards).
Dash has done a moderate blocksize upgrade (from 1mb to 2 mb), with the least impact on its full nodes and can safely upgrade to higher blocksize if necessary.
Then there is the case of Dash Evolution coming out, i'm not sure how this exactly affects Dash transactions per second. Could it for example increase Dash transactions per second ?
