Block.one knows marketing. Whether it's real activity or fake, some people will fall in the trap - it proves that the production network of EOS is capable of running those 10 Mil tx/day. I believe we should prepare well and do something similar on steem too, because it wil prove without possible doubt that it can handle that amount.

Yes it will have a cost in terms of the size of the block log as Hive account@gtg was saying but you can't advertise for free. Being up there in blocktivity.info with a 8 640 000 tx/day (that's 100 tps) for a production blockchain with about 200 000 active users has a huge value for investors, and this is what we are talking about here.

Is the marketing potential of being up there in blocktivity with 9 Mil or 10 Mil tx/day worth the increase in the block_log size ?

I am both an investor - I know what investors look at.
And I am also a witness, Hive account@lux-witness, so I can gauge the two sides of the equation

My opinion is that the marketing value of reaching 100 tps on the steem mainnet is amply worth the cost of having to deal with a larger block_log

Hive account@timcliff, what do you think? What do other top witnesses think?
