Thanks for the write up. I only went based upon what Blocktrades said with the 30x, not presuming that it was a 1:1 increase in the throughput. Obviously, block size is only one factor and, as you detailed, there are many more being worked upon.
It is good that you have the 180x on the traffic during testing. That is very positive. Scaling is something that so many are focused upon, often after bottlenecks. It is good to see what is going on before Hive is full.
I will take a look at the wish list, especially the bonds. Perhaps another article will result.
