if hive hits for example 400$ each, witness earnings would allow much more computing power for scaling
Possibly but there can be bottlenecks that are more tied to the software architecture which don't necessarily lend themselves to scaling up by spending money. For example, fastest single-threaded computer you can buy at any price isn't really all that much faster than an iPhone.
Of course, it is also true that with more money, more work can go into optimizing and rearchitecting the software, to a point.
The concept is good, though, but the relationship between money and scaling isn't linear or simple.
*For example, the fastest single-threaded computer you can buy at any price isn't really all that much faster than an iPhone.
That's true. And the Software is of course in some way the bottleneck.
I agree 100% on this. But to the simple point of storage and the 400$ Hive example, I think the Block size could easily increase or become dynamic? Ok, Dynamic makes it too complex for the example :D
The point was more, there are some " long hanging fruits" out there that would allow scaling and should be included in future RC updates ( or even think about the options)
And to not become behind the curve, I think it's not bad to have in mind the cheaper and more powerful technic that will be affordable :)
Also true but it is exponential between time/computing power ( possible scaling)
Nice talk like always!
I wish you a happy new year!
Maybe? Would still requiring processing that data in real time (every 3 seconds).
Happy new year to you as well!
