Local blockchain will be at 30 Go at the end of the 2017.
What are you talking about? I'm pretty sure that nothing like that is going to happen. if : - you have 80% of the network in 0.14.x segwit enforced - and you have a new client in 0.14.x thaht it must download a new blockchain - you can rebuild the whole blockchain with a segwit optimisation - result = reduce per 4 the size of the local blockchain - and at the end of the 2017, all clients have segwit local blockchain rebuilded with the new size - because you can rebuild a segwit local blockchain from all clients of the Bitcoin network needed : a stage/moment/string where bitcoin core client send transactions from local blockchain to others segwit clients to rebuild the local blockchain with the segwit optimisations. think "transactions" and not "blocks" when you rebuild a local blockchain ... and the "segwit local blockchain" appear. and you don't need to change anything for this. it's a revolution.

We have technology to store even bigger files than 700GB now. In four years we will probably see even bigger disks, as storage capacity is constantly increasing.
It is not that we live in the 90. where people still used floppy disks. Discussion that blockchain will get even bigger and "omg what we will do" it pure FUD, IMO.
Especially when we don't even need to use Full Validation Wallets...

700GB is a hell of a lot of data but for anybody moaning there are solutions, prune mode for example is a great development.
Nobody forces people to use the Core client though, if it's a problem for you then simply don't run a full node.

At that time nobody will download bitcoin qt wallet, we all use online wallet or electrum lite wallet. Maybe some new tech will reduce the blockchain volume?

in 2016, yes. 20GB is hell in 2000. in 2016, we have 2000GB ... in a SSD.

Guys it's not the storage space, people can build exabytes storage for relative cheap price. It's the internet bandwitdh and maximum monthly bandwidth.
Most ISP with subscription model charge you say 10-20$/month, but on the contract, with small print they might say, maximum monthly bandwidth 1 terrabyte. If you download more than that, it might charge you in plus, or block your internet. And you also have the download speed issue, many people live in villages, especially in China, from where they host their nodes from with shitty internet connection, that goes off every time there is bad weather, or it gets slowed down massively. It's the download speed, it always was, always will be. The storage is not an issue.

if :
- you have 80% of the network in 0.14.x segwit enforced - and you have a new client in 0.14.x thaht it must download a new blockchain
- you can rebuild the whole blockchain with a segwit optimisation - result = reduce per 4 the size of the local blockchain
- and at the end of the 2017, all clients have segwit local blockchain rebuilded with the new size - because you can rebuild a segwit local blockchain from all clients of the Bitcoin network
I still have no idea what you're talking about. Are you sure you haven't mixed up something? Well we do know that ssd's are growing much higher then our standard hard drives
AFAIK you should not be running Bitcoin Core on a SDD due to the intense stress on IOPS (if you have to run reindex or something). They aren't as durable as HDDs (yet). It's the internet bandwitdh and maximum monthly bandwidth.
Funny thing about those ISP providers. They give you a certain download and upload speed, but if you attempt to use your internet at full speed for 30 days you're likely going to hit some cap after which you will either get your speed reduced or access cut off completely.

anyone can explain this to me would this affect the bitcoin price and where they store the storage space. i guess bitcoin many people is already using bitcoin & is growing and growing faster

ssds are the actually best option for keeping the blockchain because of the iops. when you need to reindex or whateverit flies compared to a spinner. ssds have so many rewrites you dont need to worry. so that ssd used for the blockchain will only last 6 years instead of 9. so what. your hard drive will be outdated in the same time period.

Yes they give different subscription plans, usually you can apply for business subscription that are paid / bandwidth used. But for retail subscription they make it sound like its unlimited but it is not, it's always in the contract with fine print, people should read it. But of course they calculate how much people use on average for simple tasks like gaming, watching videos and pages, but they cant factor in that some people run bitcoin nodes from their home. It's funny that normal people are treated like shit, because they are dont expect people to use the internet full time like businesses, they think everyone is so dumb that they only watch videos and stuff, but bitcoiners prove that the internet can be used for more productive things too, not just silly things.

This is one of the biggest issues that people are not yet aware about. Unlimited typically comes with a fair use caveat.

Well of course, and this should be obvious, nothing is unlimined in nature, there is no such thing as unlimited resources. Only dumb communists and socialists think that way, that is why it's marketed like that, to lure in stupid customers. (I wonder though if the Bitcoin Unlimited wallet what kind of people it appeals to? )

Obviously it is faster, that was not what I was arguing against (ergo strawman). ssds have so many rewrites you dont need to worry. so that ssd used for the blockchain will only last 6 years instead of 9. so what. your hard drive will be outdated in the same time period.
No, no they don't. That is true if we are talking about the latest high end products (e.g. Samsung 960 Pro) and non-heavy users. The general SSDs don't have that many rewrites (or not an amount that I'd consider *many* since I would run out if I were to run Core on it). I have had a few internet providers in the last few years and never had an issue, I am in middle of the nation and I do not deal with comcast or timewarner though.
You don't spend enough, and can't draw to conclusion based on anecdotal evidence. Most of these plans world-wide come with a fair use clause, that isn't usually even defined properly (e.g. at what point do you exactly become *unfair). (I wonder though if the Bitcoin Unlimited wallet what kind of people it appeals to? Imagine random workers (with little to no relevance in the field) in a company deciding the amount of workload that the company servers are able to take. That's pretty much what it is.

I believe the devs are working on the size of the blockchain, but it's not at the top of their list, and rightly so. They have bigger matters which require their more immediate attention.
You're correct to point out the growing size of the blockchain, but it's a relatively small problem amongst others.
Thanks for clarifying

http://statoshi.info/dashboard/db/peersThe stats are second to none, but I can't figure out why this guy is getting 1.4TB outbound bandwidth, over what looks like a 30 day period. But it could be he has 150 connections for all I can tell. You can clearly see it here:

Could this be a possible attack vector on Bitcoin? We have seen a motivated government put pressure on some business institution before to get its agenda going. So let us say if the banking cartel pressured the governments around the world and then in turn these governments pressured the ISP's to disallow Bitcoin nodes to have internet access, would that be a possible scenario for the start of the Bitcoin witch hunt taking Bitcoin underground?

Thanks for clarifying Good that they take thier time to make it clear for you. i can really see you understand everything now and very happy with the response you get from them.The devs are actually very busy attending most important issues partaining the bockchain and will also face other aspects that needed attention too.
