[TESTNET] BTS STRESSTEST! - Wed@1500 UTC -
Because of STEEMs scalability under the demands of its community, we know how powerful its underlying Graphene technology is.
But what many here on STEEM need to know is that Some Big Players are interested in BitShares and what it could do for the financial industry. They are foaming at the mouth to see what it can do in terms of throughput and scalability on an enterprise level.
For this reason we are holding a stress test for the BitShares testnet tomorrow and are looking to bring in and train more potential witnesses as well as volunteers to help flood the network with transactions.
See more of the details on BitSharestalk Post.
Please join us in the challenge to show top fintech players what BitShares can do!
If you really want to stress test it, then you will need to upgrade the P2P network code. There is a constant that controls how many transactions it will broadcast/fetch at a time that will need to be increased.
As the default P2P code is configured, it provides a natural rate limiting well below 1000 TPS.
It's great to see Dan the man contributing to the stress test :) we have a lot of fun so far!
Bitshares is the most underrated technology in the Cryptospace. Only has a bad reputation due to maximalists and greedy miners that fear the DPoS algo. Cannot wait to see the results of this stress test :D
Flags for nothing and whales downvoting minnows is why I stopped coming to Steemit. I'll try again in a few months.
Thanks for the update. I had the impression that limit is only on the cli-wallet side.
BTW, the testnet has reached 2,753 txs/block or 917.67 txs/sec already - tho it could be that the blocktime was 5 seconds back at that time. Need to check. At 5 sec we would still be at 550tps which is still "good".
We are looking into the p2p code and will have to deal with the results of this first stress test in subsequent tests.
Would be great to have you on board for the stress test. I dont think it has been officially discussed but i imagine we will all (or at least a majority) be on mumble today. Feel free to drop in and say hi :) it would be great to hear from you again
What's the name of the constant? Which file is it in? We'll uncap it if we can find it.. Thanx
I suppose it is
GRAPHENE_NET_MAX_ITEMS_PER_PEER_DURING_NORMAL_OPERATION.. not sure what is meant with 'normal operations' tho. Could be its the non-initial-syncing modeI think thats the one.
I've slightly modified a couple line in the code and made a new branch for our witnesses: https://github.com/BitSharesEurope/testnet/compare/testnet...BitSharesEurope:testnet-witnesses
So far, memory usage has been reduced drastically and a bunch of transactions have already went above 2,000 txs/sec with > 8,000 ops/sec.

Resteemed! :)

Promoted and resteemed. This is exciting!!!!!
Looks good and it holds some great potential for digital currencies. Thank you for sharing this!
I'd love to do a test using Steem too.
Want to help test bitshares and then we can do one for steem?
I wasn't able to make it today and I don't have telegram (phone number for a signup? pfft, why are people using this)
Resteemed. Retweeted.
This is great news for us all holders/traders/interested investors in the platform. All for one and one for all! Namaste :)
Resteemed
Resteemed! this is super cool! I like bitshares as much I like steem! Almost the same, but first is steem than bitshares! :D
no, no its the opposite!
It is for me! For you, it is the opposite! Anyway, in the end, we like them both!
Indeed ;))))))))
Our 5 witness nodes are ready to support tomorrow test 👍
