Does it hold for ten billion people?Zdrži deset milijard ljudi?
Yes — because there is no global book. A single chain must put every payment on Earth into one order, which is why chains are slow. Here the only order that matters is each member's own chain of notes, and cover is checked from that member's notes and certificates. The work splits by itself into millions of circles — many small seas, each with its own morning tide.
Da — ker ni svetovne knjige. Ena veriga mora vsako plačilo na svetu postaviti v en vrstni red, zato so verige počasne. Tu šteje le lastna veriga listkov vsakega člana, kritje pa se preveri iz njegovih listkov in potrdil. Delo se samo od sebe razdeli na milijone krogov — veliko majhnih morij, vsako s svojo jutranjo plimo.

One thing must change on the way there. Today every payment note and its countersignature go to every Lana relay: that works for thousands of payments a day, not for billions. The plan (October 2026): the circle's node keeps the notes and streams each one at once to three independent witnesses, and once an hour publishes a single signed fingerprint of all of them, which the witnesses check and countersign; every member keeps a small proof that their payment is inside. The load on the relays then depends on the number of circles, not on the number of payments.
Na poti tja se mora spremeniti eno. Danes gresta vsak listek plačila in njegov sopodpis na vsak Lana relej: to deluje za tisoče plačil na dan, ne za milijarde. Načrt (oktober 2026): vozlišče kroga hrani listke in vsakega takoj pošlje trem neodvisnim pričam, enkrat na uro pa objavi en sam podpisan prstni odtis vseh, ki ga priče preverijo in sopodpišejo; vsak član hrani majhen dokaz, da je njegovo plačilo v njem. Obremenitev relejev je tedaj odvisna od števila krogov, ne od števila plačil.
The real limit is not computers. It is the money holders (custodians): who holds the money, who checks the reserves, how circles trust each other's custodians. That is organisational and legal work — and the reason everything about custodians is public and checkable.
Prava meja niso računalniki, ampak hranitelji denarja: kdo drži denar, kdo preverja rezerve, kako krogi zaupajo hraniteljem drug drugega. To je organizacijsko in pravno delo — in razlog, da je o hraniteljih vse javno in preverljivo.
