Title: Blockchain Compression
Post by: mechs on June 30, 2013, 09:35:09 PM
    Are there any plans at some point to add blockchain compression technology to the bitcoin client? The blockchain size will continue to increase exponentially as adoption increases and will become a victim of its own success.  It would seem to me adding some compression algorithms to the bitcoin-qt client would be of significant benefit and eventually an outright necessity to maintain the integrity of the system.
