I'm invested a bit in Credits which claims it'll do a million transactions per sec but it's kind of bs - they can do nearly half a million in very limited conditions but in the real world the numbers will probably be far less and I'm a bit skeptical of such claims. I'm not sure that fast is necessary though - credit cards do a few thousand transactions a sec globally so if you can handle that you could potentially at last use crypto to pay for your coffee etc https://medium.com/@viruseslovers45/credits-the-best-blockch...

Yeah, Hashgraph appears to do high tps at relatively small number of nodes, aka will probably work in permissioned/consortium style environment with limited nodes, but whether it can scale in a public environment with unlimited nodes is an open question.

You only need to beat like 14 transactions a second to start doubling and tripling bitcoin's average throughput.

A non sharded public blockchain that doesn't do some kind of validator delegation will always be bottlenecked by a single validators computational capacity, which is on the order of 100-1000. Hedera is really pushing the line on making fraudulent claims here.

Hashgraph doesn't use blockchain - look into interviews with Dr Baird if you're interested. MachineZone, the big game company, is now building on Hashgraph:

I am aware of their architecture. How does it circumvent the bound?
