Title: How much space you use with alt blockchains? Post by: stompix on January 15, 2014, 11:33:58 PM With this invasion of alt coins and their growing blockchains I always wondered how many people are indeed running a full node for multiple coins.
Is there somebody who has 5-10 different clients running the same time? How much space are your favorites using on your hdd? (or ssd). And most important , which ones? Title: Re: How much space you use with alt blockchains? Post by: virtualdn on January 15, 2014, 11:34:53 PM a couple gigs
Title: Re: How much space you use with alt blockchains? Post by: stompix on January 16, 2014, 12:00:26 AM 30gb Wow , things are getting interesting. Can you come back in 20 - 30 days and post how this number has evolved? Title: Re: How much space you use with alt blockchains?

I don't think it's that hard if you consider bitcoin also. I have 25GB if I count all the wallets/coins I have - 19 total. Bitcoin is the large one - my folder is 15.5GB. Only 9.5GB with alternatives. Title: Re: How much space you use with alt blockchains? Post by: stompix on January 16, 2014, 01:01:37 AM 30gb Wow , things are getting interesting.

Post by: bee7 on January 16, 2014, 01:20:08 AM ~60 coins excluding bitcoin & litecoin tried recently/used presently - 19GB of the plain 2.5" 5400RPM hard disk (to lower the power usage). All daemons of PoS coins are running 24 hours a day plus some daemons that are not transited to leveldb. When I have to reboot the box for some reason and I want to start all of them then the whole startup takes more than a hour - daemons are started one by one to avoid too much concurrent use of the disk during index loading :) Title: Re: How much space you use with alt blockchains?
