>pathetic ~10 transactions per second.

It's only an artificial limit of Core fork of Bitcoin.

Increasing it to 10 000 transactions per second doesn't use more energy for mining. https://www.reddit.com/r/btc/comments/7nn5wa/bitcoin_cash_is...

trsfgbb··on Show HN: Make your site’s pages instant in one minute
I remember using some web accelerator 15-20 years ago. Prefetching all links on webpages. It was really helpful on modem/ISDN connection.

Standalone program on Windows XP (or maybe Windows 98?). It had it's own window where you could see which pages it was loading.

Does anyone know the name?

trsfgbb··on Ethereum: A number of hard forks turn out to be scams
Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin SV?

Last time I tried Core fork of Bitcoin, it was useless, it had $30 transaction fees (due to artificial block size limit).

I was scammed out of my money, couldn't move it. This isn't fixed yet, fees will appear again when transaction volume increases.

Meanwhile with Bitcoin Cash I was sending $1 to Venezuelian for less than $0.01.
