Topic: 92 gigs? Wowwzers. - page 3. (Read 1791 times)
It's growing in a quick fashion, that's right. But I am still happily running a full node on my home computer. Currently I am in fact running out of space on my 1TB drive, but will upgrade to 3TB very soon. I however wonder what is the quickest way to work. Is it better to copy the entire blockchain that I currently have on my computer, or should I download everything from scratch?
It still costs under $50 to store the Blockchain in full. I don't see it ever being a big deal. + not everyone has a node so doesn't technically need it 
we'll see a bigger Blockchain if the block size is raised and more transactions start going through.

Last time I recalled it was at like 52 or something.
Then it's been a year since the last time you looked at it. It hasn't been since late 2015.
If the blocks are all full, then the blockchain grows by about 52.6GB per year. Empty blocks and blocks that are less than 1 MB in size occur frequently, so the actual growth over the past year has been more like 39GB.
Whats the point of downloading the entire source or the heavy hard drive hitting wallets and not just the light wallets ? Is it because that allows you to host a node ?
