Title: Distributed/scaled bitcoind Post by: rupy on April 30, 2013, 02:10:27 PM How could/would one scale the current satoshi bitcoind?
With only one bitcoind instance that will be a bottleneck. Title: Re: Distributed/scaled bitcoind Post by: rupy on April 30, 2013, 05:36:05 PM I think we need an open source alternative for this, bitcoinj could be a start but it's overengineered and needs to be simpler to guarantee stable and error free execution.
Basically we need a distributed wallet, does anything similar exist? Title: Re: Distributed/scaled bitcoind Post by: TierNolan on April 30, 2013, 06:43:55 PM I disagree about the wallet part.
If you are going to the effort of recoding bitcoind, then you should keep it modular. Perhaps, it would even be separate processes. Title: Re: Distributed/scaled bitcoind Post by: rupy on April 30, 2013, 09:15:37 PM realized you need the whole chain to be safe anyhow and you can just copy the wallet to many bitcoind's to scale... the question is how to copy the wallet with todays bitcoind design, if the wallet was built to scale it would be easy, unfortunately it's this big monolithic blob so somebody needs to fix that; got high hopes for picocoin...
