 **taler-fakebank-run** is a command-line tool to run a Taler "bank" API (HTTP 
REST service). The program is useful to provide the bank functionality for 
benchmarking or testing when LibEuFin is unavailable or otherwise unsuitable.
 
+It should be noted that the fakebank will keep a configured number of 
transactions in memory. If the number of transactions exceeds the configured 
memory limit, the fakebank will simply discard and overwrite the old entries. 
At that point, any requests involving such overwritten transactions will fail. 
Users of the fakebank are responsible for ensuring that the transaction history 
kept in memory is long enough for the purpose the bank is used for. The default 
limit is 128k entries.
