Title: Disc usage Post by: MORA on February 18, 2013, 10:22:51 AM Over the last 2 years, I have been running a bitcoin service.
Now the disc usage is getting out of hand, and I am wondering if there is any improvements in that in newer versions? The one I am running is quite old (it does not have access to any bitcoins), and since I am using a custom patch, it may not be so simple to upgrade. Also what amount of disc usage is acceptable atm ? Currently I have 20GB used just by .bitcoin :( Title: Re: Disc usage Post by: grue on February 20, 2013, 03:00:22 PM 20 gb?? my %appdata%\bitcoin is only 6 GB, plus a few megabytes for the binaries.
