TODO - next steps

interesting next questions:

• IBFT instead of raft
  • generic 7nodes example contains IBFT already; so that part should be easy (however, some issues reported bugs with IBFT ?)
  • needs code update in tps.py, see README.md --> IBFT
• Crux instead of Constellation
  • newly developed by blk.io / Conor Svenson
  • already has a "7nodes example", so should be easy to benchmark: raft, IBFT
• Vanilla Ethereum PoW
  • to get the baseline TPS using my scripts
• Vanilla Ethereum PoA
  • perhaps easiest via --> puppeth ?
  • hackernoon
  • stackexchange
• gas / transaction bytes / block size / ...
  • standard .set() call needs 26644 gas, very small; general calls will be larger --> estimate effect of gas on TPS:
  • custom smart contract that can use tunable gas for storage (e.g. append to list), or tunable gas for calculations (e.g. loop multiplication) instead of the SimpleStorage.sol
• doing away with vagrant, instead run on host machine - tried, BUT have to wait for severe bug #352 to be fixed
• eth_sendTransactionAsync ??
• QuorumNetworkManager
• compare all results in a table / barchart, instead of chronological text log files.

what else?

N.B.: No guarantees that I will get time to continue with this at all - so please feel invited to fork this repo, and keep on working on benchmarking this. I'll happily merge your pull request. Thanks.

other places:

• log.md - sequence of everything that I've already optimized, to get this faster
• README.md - quickstart how to use this chainhammer tool
• Quorum-consensus.md - raft, IBFT, etc
• Quorum-privacy.md - quorum private transactions
• non-vagrant/README.md - attempt to run it on host machine instead of inside vagrant VB; currently broken, issue unanswered
