GitHub - fresheneesz/bitcoinThroughputAnalysis: Analysis of Bitcoin's current and future transaction throughput bottlenecks.
An Analysis of Bitcoin's Throughput Bottlenecks, Potential Solutions, and Future Prospects Debate about growth of Bitcoin's blockchain has raged for years now. Some want to increase transaction throughput by increasing block size (scaling). Others want to focus on technologies that improve (decrease) the resources necessary to run the network as it grows (improving scalability). It hasn't helped that there are many misunderstandings of where Bitcoin's bottlenecks are. In this document, I will first analyze the major throughput bottlenecks that constrain the safe throughput capacity of current...
