|
|
## 10K User Projection
|
|
|
|
### Distribution Assumption
|
|
- 60% Tier 1 (minimal Bitcoin node): 6,000 users
|
|
- 25% Tier 2 (standard): 2,500 users
|
|
- 12% Tier 3 (power user): 1,200 users
|
|
- 3% Tier 4 (heavy): 300 users
|
|
|
|
### Network Impact
|
|
- Federation sync: ~1KB per peer per 5-minute sync
|
|
- DWN message replication: ~10KB per message sync
|
|
- Tor hidden service overhead: negligible per user
|
|
- Nostr relay federation: ~5KB per node announcement
|
|
|
|
### Scale Bottleneck Analysis
|
|
1. **Disk**: Bitcoin blockchain grows ~100GB/year — need at minimum 1TB
|
|
2. **Memory**: Core tier uses 2.6GB, leaves headroom on 4GB systems
|
|
3. **CPU**: Bitcoin block processing and Electrs indexing are CPU-bound
|
|
4. **Network**: Tor circuit establishment is the main latency bottleneck
|
|
|
|
## Recommendations
|
|
1. Default fresh install to **Core tier only** (2.6GB RAM)
|
|
2. Show tier badges in Marketplace
|
|
3. Warn when system RAM < required for selected apps
|
|
4. Auto-detect hardware and suggest appropriate tier
