IJCH - Inside JaiChai's Head (Meaning: My Warped, Personal Opinions and Musings)
From the Author:
Salutations.
I am JaiChai.
And if I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you before, I'm delighted to make your acquaintance now.
I invite you to interact with everyone, learn, and have as much fun as possible!
For my returning online friends, "It's always great to see you again!"
Non-Scalability
For those in the crypto space, the term "Non-Scalability" automatically conjures up visions of slow transaction speeds and a meager tps (transactions per second rate) - a la Bitcoin and Ethereum.
But this is a grossly oversimplified definition.
In reality, non-scalability can mean other things, such as the inability to accommodate X number of users on the network (usually due to the absence of any mechanisms that adapts the number of nodes to a growing user population).
With regards to non-scalability, context is crucial.
In public, non-permissioned, blockchain networks like Bitcoin and Ethereum, anyone can function as a node and can also quit being a node at anytime.
This situation requires many more safeguards (aka more computing power and bandwidth usage) because any person could be a bad actor who is Hell-bent on compromising the network to steal funds.
In contrast, permissioned networks have stringent node qualifications that must be met before participating in the validation process. Additionally, if the minimum requirement of work is not done, nodes within a permissioned network are basically fired and replaced by others waiting in the wings.
Consequently, with less "in-house security concerns" and far less computing/bandwidth overhead, permissioned networks are similar to self-contained kingdoms - translated: centralized networks - that are innately faster and more scalable.
But for ALL cryptos and smart contract platforms, non-scalability is a major concern; especially since a sudden wave of mass adoption right now would cripple 99% of them.
(Just think "Crypto Kitties".)
Overcoming The Infidel called Crypto Non-Scalability - Six Terrorist Tactics
Sleeper Cells
(1) For more effective and efficient operations, divide the organization into several autonomous "Need To Know - Activate Only When Needed" sleeper cells (e.g., Layer 2, Off-Chain Transactions like Bitcoin's Lightning Network and Ethereum's Raiden Network).
Work in Parallel
(2) Order the cells to search for the mission solution in their area of responsibility - their assigned part of the problem - all at the same time . This is called Blockchain Sharding.
Note: Sharding of a blockchain's database only works with PoS (Non-PoW) mechanisms because mining makes the small shards unacceptably vulnerable to compromise.
Conquer Elephants, Not Ants
(3) Have the greatest impact possible with the least amount of resources (e.g., detonation in a crowded place, similar to Bitcoin Cash's larger block sizes).
Multiple Training Sites
(4) Maintain multiple training camps for the warriors of tomorrow (e.g., Cardano's incubators for innovative scalability solutions).
Vary Attack Methods
(5) Create different methods of attack (alternative consensus mechanisms like DPoS and DAGs).
PSYOPS - Take Credit
(6) Claim credit for each successful campaign in the Global War On Non-Scalability!

About the Author
Believing that school was too boring, he dropped out of High School early; only to earn an AA, BS and MBA in less than 4 years much later in life – while working full-time as a Navy/Marine Corps Medic.
In spite of a fear of heights and deep water, he performed high altitude, free-fall parachute jumps and hazardous diving ops in deep, open ocean water.
After 24 years of active duty, he retired in Asia.
Since then, he's been a full-time, single papa and actively pursuing his varied passions (Writing, Disruptive Technology, Computer Science and Cryptocurrency - plus more hobbies too boring or bizarre for most folk).
He lives on an island paradise with his teenage daughter, longtime girlfriend and three dogs.
I liked it, that was pretty funny, but sadly the networks are not progressing fast enough to keep up with any kind of demand spike. I did run across one that supposedly every wallet on every device is a node... Uplexa.com I haven't checked it out completely yet but plan to in the next couple days.
good stuff man link me the weku post also I have a better vote there.
Here ya go. Thanks...

Namaste, JaiChai
We are SO proud to have you as a member of our
FANTABULOUS @steemitbloggers family!
uvoted and resteemed!
❤ MWAH!!! ❤
interested in joining the Steemit Bloggers Community?
I will have to re-read this my husband is talking to me too. lol
Great post giving me more info and helping me to understand more.
Non-scalability .. will re-read
Your visuals help too. I do believe people are programmed and are activated when needed. We see this all the time in States with shootings. I know others may think I am off base because this is not what the media tells them. resteeming! :)
Ahahah you're crazy :D "Claim credit for each successful campaign in the Global War On Non-Scalability!" cracked me good :D I also enjoyed how you talked about yourself in the 3rd person in the bio :D btw i've also tandem jumped from plane, amazing experience!
Glad you liked the piece.
Thanks a lot for visiting and commenting.
Oh yeah, I surprised myself and ended up really enjoying the free-fall jumping after all.
May you and yours be well and love love today.
Namaste, JaiChai
Namasteee :)
