No one in EF made statements about 50k tps in the years leading up to crypto kitties. Also, Ethereum had a functioning fee market throughout the congestion and you could land a TX with sufficient fees.

he still doesn't understand that congestion _is_ an economic bug
after the implementation bugs are fixed, if we switch to a more efficient quic implementation, if we abandon quic entirely, there can still be congestion
resources are not infinite. underpricing their demand is

keep delinquency under 5% while upgrading
we have more in the pipe. stay tuned
The v1.17.31 release is now recommended for general use by MainnetBeta validators. This release contains enhancements which will help alleviate the ongoing congestion on the Solana Network.

Yet those proponents are also happy to accept those bots transactions (not failed ones) towards Solana TPS.
Meaning that actual real TPS after taking them out is around 15 TPS!

from the replies i guess it's not obvious but, this is a _process_. shipping a release does not deploy it to thousands of nodes. that requires thousands of humans to do things. some (rightfully!) requiring their own QA first. your continued patience is highly appreciated!

a friendly reminder to merge your mergeable stake accounts. there are idle lamports in there
how do you merge stake accounts?

i don't understand this "put ore on testnet" intiative. the technicals are irrelevant. it's the economic incentives. we've observed and replicated the spamming strategies its mainnet-beta deployment motivated. there is zero to gain from a testnet deployment. pure distraction

Amazing how Solana went from $75-100 BILLION DAILY stablecoin volume to $7 BILLION daily in 1 day!!
Might it be because the data was totally fake??? Like how I've been talking about all these months??

tl;dr on simd-0096
preliminaries: the rationale for burning 50% of tx fees (not "rent"!) today is to discourage leaders from manipulating block content so as to induce an increase in fees collected. without a burn, manipulation is free as the leader is paying themselves to do it

ok so the only reason that 1.18.12 improves program deploys is _if_ you pass --use-rpc _and_ you have an rpc provided with swqos. it didn't fix it by magic. it added the override flag. if you don't have both those things you're in the same place as all previous versions

remember, this is the shit devs are dealing with
to be clear, the "or later" is a function of testing proving the changes are safe to ship. we're pretty happy with internal results so far. obv those results only extrapolate so far wrt their effectiveness on a public chain

the only real way to stop spam is to disincentivize sending excess transactions at all
we are on the path
Dynamic base fees would dramatically decrease the incentive to spam on Solana.
Per-account dynamic write lock fees would quickly zero the incentive to mine $ORE, while returning that value to the network.
