Please next version add option to change this line -prune=<n> or someelse what user can change if need

What are you asking for? The prune option can already be changed by the user.

in the GUI, i think ...

so i'm struggling to get my coins back, there anything that i can do to reverse the transaction and send it again with proper fee? i tried with abandon but it don't work

i need something like -zapwallettxes but that work with prune mode, i can't redownload the entire blockchain now, because i have no space currently i have some games installed

I think some wallets have the option of replacing the fee, but I'm not sure.

In debug window seems no work memory pool info stats in information window for me at least I use windows10

I am wondering something that concerns the bitcoin blockchain. It is over 100GB now. eventually we will not be able to run wallets on PCs because the blockchain will become to large to fit on a PC. Will the blockchain be truncated at some point?

[Meuh6879]

how cost an 500GB SSD ... ?
nothing.

  solved.

What happens when it reaches a terabyte in size. What happens when it reaches 2 and then 10 terabyte. At some point the problem is not solvable. Surely someone is working on a way to truncate the block chain or some sort of solution. What if someone new wants to get the bitcoin wallet and load it from scratch. Its going to take a 6 months to load it into the PC. This is crazy...

First of all, technology isn't stagnant. Better computing power and storage will come even as the blockchain grows larger. There certainly are ideas for shrinking the blockchain, but they all require a hard fork and research is still being done about that.

hint : complete local blockchain is only needed to mine (and for others tools, too).
pruning is possible since a long time on Bitcoin Core.

you can stop the local blockchain to 10GB if you want ...

[Peeter2007]

One suggest and idea.. Can add info how much data (MB or in GB) has left download if syncing

That's true if you only own 1 wallet, but if you keep an offline wallet/cold wallet a full node is needed that or redownload (cant resync with a prune node) the complete chain again (depending how long the wallet.dat was offline or making a new wallet.

I just picked up a couple of 5 terabyte Seagate portable drives. They don't require an external power source and fit in my pocket. That's 10 terabytes right there.

Haha by the time the block chain is that big we'll have 10 tb USB drives ;-)

Ahh technology.... I can remember When the 107MB on my old Tandy seemed huge - I spent so many hours playing doom on floppy disk on that thing!

I DEFINITELY did not know what a terabyte even was, and that I'd have ten of them sitting in my pants pocket like a wallet someday..

No worries on the size front :-))))

What's not merged, BIP148? Of course not, there isn't remotely universal acceptance by core devs.

I understand BarryCoin is having the same problem

Still a Barrycoin supporter, ck?

I certainly did not support his agreement's proposal in the form they agreed to, only the concept of 2MB+segwit, but that's all offtopic here.
