RE: Cryptocurrency Awareness Campaign: Steem Statistics [Speed, Volume and Scalability]

in #steem7 years ago

Thank you for your post! I must admit I do not quite understand what you mean by scalability? That it has only reached 0.1%? Could you please clarify, thank you!

Sort:  

That is just the amount of transactions steem is able to do without being under load so out of 100% currently steem is only under a 0.1% load meaning it has so much more room to grow

nice, great to know, thanks for explaining.

If it hits 100 %, then the network is overloaded, and the transfers will need to wait for another block. It is what's been happening with bitcoin, and why it is so expensive/takes a long time to get a transaction to happen. So we still have a long way before we get there!
