Breaking Misconceptions: Monero Scaling and Beyond
summary
Argues Monero can scale but the real bottleneck is upload bandwidth, not block size ideology; estimates around 300 transactions per second average (peaks ~600–650) before bandwidth becomes limiting. Proposes GPU verification to offload CPUs, SSDs solve storage, and notes past spam experiments stopped because costs outweighed benefits. Adding full membership proofs raises typical transaction size to ~10,000 bytes, solvable by increasing the minimum penalty‑free zone from 300,000 to 1,000,000 bytes and tweaking median penalties.
