You are wrong, not everyone accepts USD. If you are outside of the US it can be hard to spend those.

Rearding usenano.org, you have to keep in mind that adaption barely started like 4 months ago after the distribution ended.

You get access to Nano like with every other currency, work to receive a bit of it or exchange it with another currency.

It was not changed yet, 30,000tx/18,000seconds=1.6txs

Devs said they are researching for a audit company currently, but there will be a major change in the protocol pretty soon, so I guess it will be done afterwards.

Funny fact, there is a VPN provider accepting Nano, there are hosting providers accepting Nano, there is even a sport socket shop accepting Nano (sadly no Alpaca from what I know) In regards to premine, yes it was premined, but because 95% were distributed by the captcha faucet, 5% went to the dev fund. Since the nano protocol does not need miners it was in my eyes a pretty good idea to get even non crypto people on board.

You are describing the problem of all currencies, ie also dollar. If no one accepts your dollar you are screwed.

Your calculation is wrong. One 1070 is able to produce about 1.6 txs, so 100 x 1070 are able to produce 160 txs. For a full transaction you need to do two time POW (send and receive), so if you use the same cards to receive the tx also you are only able to produce 80 txs. Right now I do not think you would harm the network up to about 10k - 50k txs (a simple laptop is able to monitor about 1k txs). So you may want to target at least 10k txs, therefore you would need more than 10k graphic cards at a cost of about $500 each at least, this sums up to $5,000,000 and as I said it is not clear that this would harm the net in any substantial way.
