You may see much better throughput if you run a few servers around the globe and test based on closest-by-geoip. TCP throughput is rather significantly effected by latency, though I'm not really sure what you should be testing here, ideally. On 07/23/15 14:19, slurms--- via bitcoin-dev wrote: > On

Ahh, data... a breath of fresh air... Can you re-analyze for 8MB blocks? There is no current proposal for 20MB blocks. Also, most hashing power is now using Matt Corallo's fast block propagation network; slow 'block' propagation to merchants/end-users doesn't really matter (as long as it doesn't

On this day, the Bitcoin network was crawled and reachable nodes surveyed to find their maximum throughput in order to determine if it can safely support a faster block rate. Specifically this is an attempt to prove or disprove the common statement that 1MB blocks were only suitable slower inter
