Title: Why is v0.11.0 binary 2x larger than v0.10.2?
Post by: Hyena on August 02, 2015, 11:26:14 AM
The v0.11.0 bitcoin-qt binary for 64bit Linux is 30.2 MB.
Bitcoin Core version v0.10.2 (64-bit) bitcoin-qt binary for Linux is only 13.3 MB.

Why is there such a huge file size difference?

Because the QT part is now statically linked.
