Bitshares - State of the Network - 19th September 2017

The Bitshares State of the Network Reports seeks to combine raw data from a wide range of metrics and combine them into meaningful information to identify emerging trends and changes in the Bitshares network.

Observation from this week

This section will highlight any observations made while analysing the data.

• Bitshares has broken it old record by achieving 920,000 Operations in 1 day! Which gives it a 24 hour average of 10.64 Operations per second (i.e on the 13th of Sept, every second 10.64 operations (transfers, order creates/cancels/fills, account creation, asset creation, voting ect) occurred on the Bitshares Blockchain)

• The Bitshares TESTNET has successfully hardforked. The hardfork includes BSIP0018 and some minor consensus upgrades. Testing is being performed before being given the all clear for the changes can be merged into the Bitshares production network.

• A new version of the Bitshares reference wallet (light client) has been released this week (version 2.0.170915). You can find more information on the release HERE

• @Stan has done an interview with radio host Kerry Lutz this week. This interview covers everything from bitcoin, the billion hero campaign, ICOs and the Token Exchange Self Regulating Body (TXSRB). You can find the interview HERE
