Why do proof of work systems ramp up the difficulty of hash solving while keeping latency constant, instead of keeping difficulty constant while nodes compete to reduce latency? The later seems more useful, and not inflationary.

Those are rookie numbers. We’ve got to pump those numbers up. 15M PCU * 30Hz = at least 450M transactions per second required to support a live Fortnite event.

is this true? The 450m / sec number? Not because I give a shit about the original topic but because that’s an interesting number to benchmark against

Not sure what you mean by obviously false. - Transmitting 8GB every 10 mins between well connected miners is not challenging. - Some of that data can be pruned (discarded). - A miner getting millions of dollars in fees can afford some big hard drives.

But if you assume those things, then you don't need BitCoin anymore, because now you're just talking about a small network of banks. Which is what we already have. The point of BitCoin was for _anyone_ to be able to transact and validate the ledger.
