given the number of 4000 average TXN per second at 438 bytes per TXN
1752000bytes per second
105120000 bytes per minute
6307200000 bytes per hour
147825000 kilobytes per day
~140 gigabytes per day
~51456 terabytes per year (365)
seeing these numbers makes you wonder really wonder. what is the solution?
I think you may have mixed up your labeling there. ~140 * 365 = ~51456
GIGAbytes, not terabytes. ~51 terabytes per year isn't really that bad today for a professional data storage place, and likely will be something home users can get 10 years from now (according to this
http://www.pricewatch.com/hard_removable_drives/ ~51 terabytes only costs about $2,338.86 today, which already isn't much compared to what some of the bigger mining rig operators spend. This will likely drop to $200 in ten years)
yes i know the data is not really accurate at all, i was lazy and just pounded some numbers in a calc instead of excel.
