Title: Didn't Monero have massive problems in terms of blockchain size? Post by: pereira4 on August 23, 2016, 01:56:26 PM I remember using Monero back in the day when it didn't even have a GUI. Anyway, I remember that it had some serious problems with the blockchain, it was too bloated.
What is the current situation now? I may invest but right now it's obviously overpumped and will correct. Title: Re: Didn't Monero have massive problems in terms of blockchain size? Post by: raphma on August 23, 2016, 03:05:57 PM i'm waiting the correction too... unfortunately i lost this pump.
a few bugs were solved and ringCT is almost finished so you should give it a try. Title: Re: Didn't Monero have massive problems in terms of blockchain size? Post by: smoothie on August 23, 2016, 03:11:52 PM as was stated weeks ago...don't buy XMR...just look at it. :P
Title: Re: Didn't Monero have massive problems in terms of blockchain size? Post by: Febo on August 23, 2016, 03:42:40 PM All was solved with 0.9. Hydrogen Helix. It was developed over a year and a half. And development of GUI and other not so important things was put aside.
Hydrogen Helix was implemented on January first 2016. At that time everyone could know Monero price will go only one way. Since Hydrogen Helix provided way faster future development. Title: Re: Didn't Monero have massive problems in terms of blockchain size? Post by: thejaytiesto on August 23, 2016, 04:08:25 PM Monero has an infinite supply, it's an inflationary coin... I wouldn't expect the price to reach massive amounts like BTC. If I had XMR I would sell some right now. Common sense says that such a pump cannot be sustained for much longer. Good luck, im staying out.
Title: Re: Didn't Monero have massive problems in terms of blockchain size? Post by: TrueAnon on August 23, 2016, 06:00:01 PM It's a shit coin with big name/backing by old and left in the dust now, no reason to want to use it, thus it SHOULD die but doesn't.
It will get a pump then dump and be stagnant for a year. Title: Re: Didn't Monero have massive problems in terms of blockchain size?

I have it 8.6 GB, synced about a month ago. Title: Re: Didn't Monero have massive problems in terms of blockchain size?

Syncing depends of your HD if you have SDD is in an hour or so. it was a lot in main thread when Hydrogen Helix kicked in in January. You can read there. For me personally it synce way faster then BTC or Ethereum. I newer synced any other. This is what i found in main thread from that time: I have just re-synced from scratch the blockchain by new 0.9 release Win64 binaries. All things seem to be SUCCESS. Below I leave some number facts: Total time to re-sync from scratch = 2h 25m Maximum memory usage visible in standard Windows 7 task manager during re-sync = 60Mb Overall Monero database files under c:\ProgramData\bitmonero = 7.6Gb Simplewallet.exe have requested to import my wallet from old format - done instantly. Note, 'refresh' command must be typed in simplewallet console to see up-to-date balance! !!! MONERO DEVS CONGRATULATIONS !!! and another I agree, the DEVS KICK ASS. I have also just synced the blockchain from scratch using ver0.9 binaries released for Win64. All seems to be a SUCCESS for me as well. Total time to re-sync from scratch = ~50mins Title: Re: Didn't Monero have massive problems in terms of blockchain size?

Bitcoin can't even decide on it's blocksize, good luck on all the other changes that you're waiting for... maybe they will come, but until now they're just vaporware... but still, good luck edit: btw comparing bitcoin to gold ain't right, bitcoin isn't even fungible... best regards Title: Re: Didn't Monero have massive problems in terms of blockchain size?

Anyway, I remember that it had some serious problems with the blockchain, it was too bloated. What is the current situation now? I may invest but right now it's obviously overpumped and will correct. Monero still doesn't "even have a(n official) GUI" The blockchain size "bloat" issue was cured many months ago, when the developers converted the blockchain to database format and located it to reside on the client node's permanent storage, rather than crowd out the volatile memory (RAM). In other words, the 64-bit Win client now needs only about 30MB of RAM. Price speculation has a thread. Title: Re: Didn't Monero have massive problems in terms of blockchain size?

If I had XMR I would sell some right now. Common sense says that such a pump cannot be sustained for much longer. Good luck, im staying out. As a matter of fact, it isn't inflationary. The correct term is "disinflation". From https://getmonero.org/knowledge-base/about : Quote The block reward will never drop below 0.3 XMR, making monero a disinflationary currency: the inflation will be roughly 1% in 2022 and go down forever, but the nominal inflation will stay at 0.3 XMR per minute. This means that there will always be an incentive for miners to mine monero and thus keeping the blockchain secure, with or without a fee market.

Good luck, im staying out. this is just half true. even though it is infinite, the price will depend on production x use (demand x supply). ETH have infinite supply too and the price still "high". xmr might never achieve bitcoin price but still a good investment. Title: Re: Didn't Monero have massive problems in terms of blockchain size?

Post by: c789 on August 24, 2016, 06:05:56 AM As others have stated, those problems have been fixed in earlier releases.
Blockchain size is not really a concern long-term thanks to Moore's law. This is from ArcticMine's sig: Concerned that blockchain bloat will lead to centralization? Storing less than 4 GB of data once required the budget of a superpower and a warehouse full of punched cards. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/87/IBM_card_storage.NARA.jpg https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punched_card Remember how much storage was available on smartphones just a few years ago? Not much. And look at how much the average consumer hard drive has increased in capacity in just the last few years. Project that with Moore's law and you'll see that storage space is not a long-term problem for any cryptocurrency. Title: Re: Didn't Monero have massive problems in terms of blockchain size?

Title: Re: Didn't Monero have massive problems in terms of blockchain size? Post by: smooth on August 24, 2016, 08:27:48 AM OP, there were real two issues with the blockchain size back when the coin started in 2014:
1. The original open source pool software created by the Monero community paid every single miner on every single block. That obviously led to a massive amount of bloat. 2. The blockchain was being stored in RAM, which obviously made a large blockchain extremely problematic. Both issues were solved long ago. ... development of GUI and other not so important things was put aside. The not so important things were put aside years ago. Those things will never get attention. What are you talking about? The GUI has been under active development. You can literally pull it and compile the development version here: https://github.com/mbg033/monero-core Quote Do you realize the bytecoin devs created monero? They are the only ones that truly understand the codebase. An enormous portion of it (tens of thousands of lines of code) has been rewritten or heavily modified. Your statement isn't remotely accurate any more. what we mostly read here are all the FUD from other people in this forum. Exactly right. Please visit the Monero threads here, the Monero web site, forum, Slack, IRC, telegram, etc. to get accurate information. Monero has an infinite supply, it's an inflationary coin... Probably not in practice. Given lost coins the supply will reach an equilibrium at some fixed amount (probably around 30 million coins) and stop growing.
