WE DID IT, 2000 transactions PER SECOND OVER THE NETWORK!!

Hi fellow HEATers, please allow me to share a short development status update.
Some interesting and major milestones have been achieved over the past week. To list a few:
Blockchain-Event-Cache
Big steps have been made towards finalizing the Blockchain-Event-Cache, the event cache gave us some real hard challenges to solve. An example being how to store to disk the tip or last N events of a never ending stream of events, without running out of disk space! And do it in such a way that no matter if the HEAT server crashes or shuts down, that at all times the persisted state of the blockchain matches exactly with all persisted events.
The significance of the event cache really can't be overstated. It's workings and design are unique and as far as I know exclusive to HEAT. The event cache should be considered as an ordered list of events where most events map to a whole or part of a blockchain transaction. The event cache has a cursor which points to the current latest event and this cursor can move up and down the list of events.
Thanks for the update, Dennis. And congrats on such a huge technical milestone!
