Capacity math (theoretical vs practical)
- BSV targets large/unbounded blocks; practical capacity depends on miner infra.
- Transactions per second ≈ (block_size_bytes / avg_tx_size_bytes) / block_time_seconds
- With 10-minute blocks and 250-byte avg tx size:
- 128 MB block: (134,217,728 / 250) / 600 ≈ ~895 TPS
- 1 GB block: (1,073,741,824 / 250) / 600 ≈ ~7,158 TPS
- 2 GB block: ≈ ~14,300 TPS
- Caveats:
- These figures assume a miner actually produces/propagates such blocks and others accept them. Mainnet sustained throughput is typically far below these maxima.
- Larger blocks increase propagation time, orphan/reorg risk, and tend to concentrate mining.
