Syscoin can achieve over 60,000 transactions per second

Wow.. Thats amazing.

I may be wrong as I didn't spend too much time on their site.

I run Linux and couldn't find a linux wallet.

Depends on network latency. Third party tests within realistic net latency conditions, and various other factors, showed 30k-60k tps. Zero-latency control group showed 141k tps. The Syscoin ZDAG net is also decentralized (no central watchers necessary) and benefits from global consensus. With current mesh network, resources, topo algo, parallel sig veri, etc, it catches 99.9999% of double spends within ten seconds, but that's expected to speed up w/ some additional optimizations being worked-out. All ZDAG transactions afterwards roll to SHA256 PoW (Bitcoin Core compliant) for onchain finality; full history retained for all transactions across the DAG. All Syscoin Platform Tokens (assets, etc) utilize ZDAG. Generating a token costs 500 SYS.

Another cool thing about ZDAG since it is probablistic across time - it enables users/merchants/devs to determine their own ideal security vs speed trade-off. Gives them the power to decide. Example, if you feel comfortable w/ 99.99% validation of a microtransaction valued at $10, you only have to wait a couple seconds before determining it "paid" and/or respending. If value is much higher, one might opt to wait longer, or go as far as wait for SHA256 finality at a blocktime targeted at 60 seconds.

Aligns w/ the idea of bringing the tech to people rather than trying to drag people to the tech. People are capable of telling the difference between sending value of ten dollars vs one-million, and are capable of determining their own security/speed trade-off.
