3,600 seconds per hour, which also means 86,400 seconds per day. If we divide 86,400 by 7 we'll have the number of 7-second intervals = 12,342

You're math is close.

I knew I was doing something wrong, just new it so if BTC can manage 7 transactions a second then we divide the number of seconds in a day
and we don't times it by seven like I did.

Wow I love this and it means the more electricity I consume each second will result in a smaller electric bill since we divide the time by amount instead or multiplying it.

We need 23 miners online clearing nothing but the unconfirmed transactions to clear them all. We can do this!

Again you beat me because I ran some code needed to start a virgin node and to start with it ran a DNS lookup
that returned a dozen IPs from the lookup of "Well known nodes" and then I asked them for a list of all the other
nodes that were up and working and these are know as "full nodes" and the result was, err well more nodes than i could count.

Clearly "full nodes" must mean they are "Full up with work" and this is why I never managed to get the code working that
asked for ledger headers from these nodes because they were "Full up with work" and could not service the requests.

I blame Russia Today and Ebay for my mistake because they was showing me like warehouses full to the roof of miners and
i had the number at something like 50,000 and not just 23
