I have participated in independent testing on testnet today with several nodes in Europe and Asia. Everything seems stable even at relatively high tps rates. Already now the HEAT network is capable of stable, higher tps rates than Bitcoin. The next mainnet release expected soon with both forging rewards and Asset Exchange trading enabled will be a big milestone for this project.
when do you expect 1000 tps rate? I know the team is focusing on microtransactions, but is there a path to go there? Otherwise i would consider changing the Name of this thread: [ANN] HEAT: 3.0 crypto*multisig fiat*a2a hft*

The internals are ready. The externals however are not.
If you disconnect from the network and pump transactions into HEAT, they can be stored away (and have all balances updated etc) at 1000tps easily, much higher numbers can be reached even.
The externals being the communication between peers, thats the second stage, how we do that is being worked out. The answer lies in a combination of better always-on connections, better protocol (now its plain json, which cant be scanned in place but needs to be loaded in memory always) and finally smarter communications between peers (instead of send everything to all - hello 20,000 transaction block - better to ping a node if he/she even wants to receive that 1MB blob or if they have it already).
To achieve all this we will be moving away from Jetty networking lib and towards AKKA.
