**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.
