When the network gets near hitting capacity of ~220,000 tx per day, the rally gets its head lopped off... coincidence?

Any future rally will be meaningfully constrained by this "safety feature".

... soon time to start high-grading for valuable TX anyway. It's an industrial level tech., can't always remain a sandpit for toy projects. Which makes you misguided about rallies being "constrained" ... but hey, who am I to stop people losing money?

toy projects like allowing a billion people to claw their way out of squalor? Toys are things that are not needed, you elitist fuck. Find some other way to buy drugs and cheat on taxes. Helping impoverished people save money is not a toy project.

... don't get your longjohns bunched up, noone is trying to stop anyone crawl their way out their backwater muckhole. At some point you will realise that freight trains, tractors and steam engines are for doing real work and cars and light trucks are what people use for everyday trade. It's just engineers recognise these functional differences first, especially in more abstract arenas like globally-networked electronic commerce.

Hint: there are great opportunities right now for building everyman layers, i.e. the cars and light trucks, go be the next Henry Ford instead on here whinging that your SV buddies can't use 'their' steam engine to pop-out for a latte.
