Title: How fast is etherium blockchain getting bloated? Post by: Thenoticer on March 03, 2016, 07:50:39 PM With all the hype, all the transaction volumn etc, how fast is etherium bloating up?
Give me the low down and dirty on this shiny turd. Title: Re: How fast is etherium blockchain getting bloated? Post by: str4wm4n on March 03, 2016, 08:54:32 PM took me about 1 hour to download the blockchain today
Title: Re: How fast is etherium blockchain getting bloated? Post by: Thenoticer on March 04, 2016, 05:12:09 PM How has this changed? What size is etherium now?
Quote [–]taylorgerringEthereum - Taylor Gerring 1 point 3 months ago The current size of go-ethereum's datadir for mainnet is around 3.0GB. This includes overhead of storing in LevelDB locally, however is not a perfect representation of the actual chain itself, since it includes state transitions and the like. This is further complicated that each implementation can decide how to store the data, so there will be variance across clients, especially once pruning is enabled. Mainnet launched on July 30, 2015 which is almost 3 months ago. With some napkin math and assuming no growth (a poor assumption based on available analytics), your local disk will need about 1GB/month to act as a full archival node.

I like how this community is used to progress! self.ethereum Submitted an hour ago by patienceisa Before the homestead release gas per block was limited to 3.14 million (I just realised, more Pi!). Now the gas per block limit is 4.71 million! 5 commentsshare Title: Re: How fast is etherium blockchain getting bloated? Post by: SydorFunk on March 04, 2016, 05:36:49 PM The frightening thing is Ethereum has no users, except for some speculators, and yet the blockchain is already many gigabytes. What happens when Ethereum starts getting some real world presence like Bitcoin? Terabyte blockchain?
I think there are many projects with better technology or are more scalable. Title: Re: How fast is etherium blockchain getting bloated?
