Title: blockchain is going to be MASSIVE for FC, whats the solution Post by: jubalix on April 28, 2013, 07:19:08 AM as the title says
my understanding is the speed multiplier effect has a downside = hugggge block chain how will this be overcome? Title: Re: blockchain is going to be MASSIVE for FC, whats the solution Post by: Buffer Overflow on April 28, 2013, 07:41:53 AM Why not ask the development team?
Oh wait.... There isn't one. :D Title: Re: blockchain is going to be MASSIVE for FC, whats the solution Post by: justabitoftime on April 28, 2013, 07:58:59 AM Why not ask the development team?

The block chain will always continue to grow. Even after all the block rewards have gone miners will keep mining for the transactions.
Litecoin is exactly the same with faster blocks as it is not a problem. When you can use an ewallet you do not even have to care about downloading the block chain :) Title: Re: blockchain is going to be MASSIVE for FC, whats the solution Post by: bnogal on April 28, 2013, 08:10:29 AM When you can use an ewallet you do not even have to care about downloading the block chain :) So the coin is gona be under the control of 3-4 banks called ewalletTitle: Re: blockchain is going to be MASSIVE for FC, whats the solution Post by: bushstar on April 28, 2013, 08:15:44 AM When you can use an ewallet you do not even have to care about downloading the block chain :) So the coin is gona be under the control of 3-4 banks called ewalletI'm pointing out that to save people having to host their own "bloated" Bitcoin, Litecoin or Feathercoin wallet they can use an ewallet and exchanges to hold coins. This is not an issue for Feathercoin, it is an issue for all blockchain coins. Think about installing the Bitcoin client and waiting a day for the block chain to download. The entire community needs to work on this problem and will be solutions.

just a thought... now THAT would really put feathercoin on the map Title: Re: blockchain is going to be MASSIVE for FC, whats the solution Post by: bnogal on April 28, 2013, 08:31:15 AM well i am just checking a bit... and there is a easy improvement possible.. compressing block by block it is possible to decrease the size by the +-64%
Of course, not a solution. A shared storage by p2p sounds more like the solution, or remote servers offering just this service.

Title: Re: blockchain is going to be MASSIVE for FC, whats the solution Post by: bnogal on April 28, 2013, 10:31:58 AM looks like yes.... i could try to do it..
Edit: (i am going to try today) Edit 2: Ok... the change is very easy, but i dont feel like compiling boost and openssl on a sunday. |
