RE: Steem Bandwidth - User Experience Issue by isnochys

bandwidth · @isnochys · Jan 9 '18

Hmm.. That sounds to me, as if in regards to bandwidth, steem is not able to scale. Currently there are 50k active users, those are not even active at the same time, yet everybody says, steem needs more users, but the blockchain doesn't react so well, from user pov.
And why is there not enough bandwidth?
What determines this 'enough'?

properties (22)

The limited bandwidth is set by the witnesses. We can increase it, and the blockchain can handle it - but it may not be a good idea at this current point in time due to the reasons I explained in my post. Long term scaling should not be an issue, as there are a lot of performance improvements in the pipeline.
