I want to have a nuts and bolts, meat and potatoes discussion about what infrastructure it's gonna take to support 1000 TPS. I say we currently can't get there from here. Somebody prove I'm full of crap. Please.
I think that Shrinking is enough to solve bloated blockchain issue. If u do it every month then u'll need only 300 GiB storage.
And the team and the bounty that is working on a pruning algorithm RIGHT NOW to support a 300 GB Blockchain every month (holy crap!) is?

? Is this more important or less important that selecting a Turing complete language for NXT???
My vote is obvious.
