With over 1 million blocks, I0coin has hit an important milestone.  It shows high block counts are possible while still maintaining a stable client and block chain.  I0coin is once again forging new ground in the crypto-currency world.  I don't know of any other crypto which has reached 1 million blocks yet.  Let us know if there are any.

Amazing.  I haven't seen another one with that many blocks.

GeistGeld: "blocks" : 2200686

(Much-faster blocks, so damn fast some think it too fast to be merged-mined, but actually it seems more like it is about the fastest you can go while still merged-mining.)

If I'm not mistaken, GeistGeld's latest update is based on the latest I0coin with its improved memory management.

I would hope so... It's damn near close to a 1:1 copy of bitcoin.

I0coin actually required modifications to its memory management to obtain such high block counts.  Bitcoin has not made such changes yet, so it could very well have problems as its block count rises.  GeistGeld uses I0coin's code too.  So, to date only I0coin has developed the code to keep the client stable at such high block counts.

Until recently, i0coin was left for dead, it's last update having been either bitcoin 0.3 or 0.4 base.

Anyway, whatever version it was on had a severe memory leak problem that is most definitely not present in the current build of bitcoin.

When I0coin was updated with bitcoin 0.8.3 code the memory problems were still present.  It wasn't so much a leak as a problem with storing too much info in memory at the same time.  Bitcoin may have the same problem once its block count gets high enough, but that would most likely be years away.  Although some of the problem was due to the merged mining info which bitcoin doesn't have, the other problem is that bitcoin stores all CBlockHeaders in memory.  rsnel could enlighten us more on how likely and when bitcoin would have memory problems since he did the I0coin update.  

More info on rsnel post at  https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=224744.60 .

I would think most or even all cryptos will have memory problems when their block chains get too big.  At least i0coin found a solution... for now.  What ever happened to bitcoin's plan to start pruning spent blocks?
