What are the best ways to calculate the time for XLM transaction based on the projected growth of the network?
On Google's cloud servers they managed 36,000,000 transactions per second hour. Visa handles 24,000. So as far as time goes I suspect it will take the same amount of time as it does now unless it gets ...

Should an address be restricted from sending unlimited XLM to itself?
I'd said that such behavior is rather a bug. Confirmed on both, public and test networks.
