Dash (DASH) Network Processed About 3 Million Transactions In 24 Hours In The Last Stress Test

Dash (DASH) broke a new record by processing 3,020,238 transactions in 24 hours. The event occurred on Sunday, November 11th, during the Dash network stress test. Thus, Dash blockchain managed to surpass the 2.1 million transactions achieved by Bitcoin Cash (BCH) during its latest stress test.

The stress test, which was intended to measure the transaction capacity of the Dash network, was carried out by the team of developers of the Dash (DASH) wallet, MyDashWallet, with the version 12.3.4 of the blockchain. The group aimed to achieve a maximum of five million processed transactions, but despite not having reached its goal, the results are more than three times the number of transactions processed in the last test conducted in July.

The three million transactions were achieved with an average speed of 1 block every 2 minutes. Among the mined blocks, some reached 2MB, the maximum size stipulated in Dash (DASH) network for each block, and contained more than 10,000 transactions. Given the number of operations in these blocks and the average mining time, it is estimated that the network was able to process between 60 and 80 transactions per second. That is a number that, although positive for Dash (DASH) blockchain, is still far from the 24,000 transactions per second that Visa claims to process.

Another important aspect is that the Dash network stress test was carried out with an average mining difficulty of 90M, after dropping from the 118M it had reached some eight days ago, according to BitInfoCharts.

It is important to note that the three million transactions were not the limit that those responsible for the test expected to reach. However, with this number of transactions, some blocks reached their maximum size of 2MB.

The 2MB blocks are enabled in the Dash (DASH) network since 2016, but at the moment there are already proposals to increase it. Some proposed to increase the size to 5MB, 8MB and even 10MB. However, studies assure that it is not advisable to exceed 5MB because the profitability of mining could be compromised.

The First OnePlus 5G Smartphone To Launch in 2019, And It Won’t Be The OnePlus 7

At the end of October, during the official launch of the new OnePlus 6T, the Chinese group also unveiled its plans to launch a OnePlus 5G smartphone across Europe. With its partner Qualcomm, OnePlus is not hiding its ambitions and hopes to be able to offer the first 5G-compatible phone in the coming year.

Qualcomm President Cristiano Amon said that they are “very pleased to announce that [their] collaboration with OnePlus will include a 5G smartphone in the near future.” OnePlus also shared some additional details about this highly anticipated OnePlus 5G smartphone.

Thus, OnePlus plans to introduce this first 5G smartphone at the beginning of the year 2019, which necessarily suggests an announcement during the Mobile World Congress which will develop in Barcelona at the end of February 2019.

The First OnePlus 5G Smartphone To Launch in 2019, And It Won’t Be The OnePlus 7

While it would seem right for the Chinese group to launch the OnePlus 7 as its first 5G smartphone, it looks like OnePlus wants to expand its mobile devices offer with a high-end 4G smartphone at an affordable price (the OnePlus 7) and a premium OnePlus 5G smartphone for those customers who want faster mobile data connections.

In this way, OnePlus would continue to offer a high-end 4G smartphone at an affordable price along with a premium OnePlus 5G smartphone. Now, the question is how and when the launch of this OnePlus 5G smartphone will proceed, given that the 5G network is currently unavailable in the world.

Last May, SFR and Nokia conducted a 5G network test in France. Now, obviously, we imagine that all GSM operators and smartphone manufacturers would join the 5G race with special offers and new 5G-compatible devices. Also, the Cupertino-based tech giant, Apple, announced that it plans to launch its first 5G iPhone somewhen in 2020.

Google Plans To Improve Split-Screen in Android Q Permitting Apps To Run Simultaneously

At the moment, the split-screen feature in Android only allows users to display two apps but only one of them is active. However, Google plans to improve split-screen in Android Q permitting apps to run simultaneously.

Currently, split-screen on Android has a severe limitation as it’s not allowing users to run two apps at the same time. In other words, the active app is only that one with which the users interact, while the other one remains in standby. Luckily, Google is now working on an improved split-screen feature for Android Q which would permit users to run two applications simultaneously with the “multi-window” function.

Also, even though Google made some recommendations on how the split-screen feature can e used, many app devs didn’t take them into consideration, and the majority of the apps are not operating correctly in ‘multi-window” in current Android OS versions.

Google Plans To Improve Split-Screen in Android Q Permitting Apps To Run Simultaneously

The upcoming feature Google wants to implement in Android Q is dubbed Multi-resume and would permit for all apps in multi-window to run simultaneously. Currently, some manufacturers, especially Samsung, made some tweaks in Android to allow the split-screen feature to run two apps at the same time.

However, that new feature Google would implement in Android Q would be the first native split-screen function that would permit running more apps simultaneously. Also, at the moment, Android testers can probe this new feature, which would be a mandatory behavior in Android Q, on Android Pie devices. But, both the manufacturers of smartphones and app developers might opt-in for this testing phase.

Additionally, with the emergence of folding smartphones and Google Foldable tech project to make Android OS suitable for such devices, the split-screen feature would become a commonly used function, so improving it might be a mandatory step to take for Google to make its mobile OS compatible with foldable phones.
