> This is refreshing to hear, however the Government does not have a history of writing good code (excluding NASA) I still feel like the Government argument could be correct.
My point was more that if it was set up to be a honeypot, they'd want to do quite a good job to ensure that it was picked up by a community. The Satoshi client was anything but, and in itself would have had quite a high risk at completely bombing out. Developers are still battling with some of the less sensible bits of the design.
> Well the limit is based on size, and 7tx/sec assumes average transaction I think.
More clients moving to compressed keys would help with that, but yes, I think that's where the 7tx/second number comes from.

I still think everybody would struggle with that. It's not a small amount of data to move around. I don't think I could even write 500GB to a hard disk in under 10 minutes, let alone the 6 or so minutes between blocks at the moment. It'll be a long time until that's even possible on a network-wide scale, my current node is under heavy enough load responding to it's peers as it is.
