You shouldn't be living in fear of flags. It will ruin your experience here. I really don't see someone flagging for such a reason either to be completely honest.

As for your thoughts, I haven't the answer to the scaling issue. I am not a developer and do not understand the intricacies of the technology. However, and I am pretty sure no one else on the internet is talking about this, I have been thinking for the last month or so that the smart grid they are erecting everywhere right now is actually going to be used to facilitate a blockchain network. Perhaps they will be nodes of a sort or something similar. I don't know. But, do you know if there is a way that this smart grid could be used to solve the scaling issue for bitcoin?
