I'm not sure in what sense you mean "maximizing transactions."

I mean it from many different scopes, even including how to get the coin into spenders' hands at wide scale.

Yes there is an observed correlation, but I don't believe that increasing junk transactions would in and of itself increase market cap.

I agree normally I don't think it would because DoS has a cost and stopping DoS has a cost too.

As far as the recent fee increase, that is rather interesting (not sure whether relevant to your point or not, assuming you have one). By increasing the fee by a factor of 20 we decreased transactions by about 28% (ignoring the period of obvious abuse) as can be viewed here: http://monerochain.info/charts/transactions

Interesting to see some quantification of the costs involved. Thanks for sharing.

An ideal case would be one that can handle as many transactions as there are clicks on the internet.
The perfect is the enemy of the good.
That folks are striving for perfection is encouraging.

Its been well over a hundred years from the first electric vehicles to the Teslas of today, but folks still had to get from place to place. We'll have to make do with our imperfections until we get there.
