When I eventually implement client-only mode, that won't matter much anymore.<br/><br/>There's more work to do on transaction fees. In the event of a flood, you would still be able to jump the queue and get your transactions into the next block by paying a 0.01 transaction fee. However, I haven't had time yet to add that option to the UI.<br/><br/>Scale or not, the test network will react in the same ways, but with much less wasted bandwidth and annoyance.</div>"
