@dirvine: Your assuredly weak network is full of long standing nodes on average internet connections. Can we get an “MVP” to celebrate Bitcoin’s big halving, now? Far as I am concerned, the tests have met criteria for MVP. Set the vault sizes to a GB and PUTs to 100 MB and let 'er rip! Market this proof of concept because it is now the real deal. Let everyone know that it is only a massive testing iteration of the network with temporary data… then introduce the SD slowly but surely with revolving tests of permanence.
