We also need to testrun a permanent 1MB cap altcoin. We haven't got one of those yet.
which is false
Sorry I was unaware of one. Can you post a link to this altcoin?
for simulation/proof of concept just start an altcoin with tiny blocklimit and see how it pans out or alternatively use Bitcoin.
So far Bitcoin and various altcoins with 1mb blocklimit have been working flawless for years, so i don't know what you actually ask for.
Well it's not the same. I believe the market may react differently to a coin with a permenant cap vs a temporary cap.
To my knowledge we don't have a permanently capped block size coin. Unless you know otherwise.
