~60 coins excluding bitcoin & litecoin tried recently/used presently - 19GB of the plain 2.5" 5400RPM hard disk (to lower the power usage).
All daemons of PoS coins are running 24 hours a day plus some daemons that are not transited to leveldb. When I have to reboot the box for some reason and I want to start all of them then the whole startup takes more than a hour - daemons are started one by one to avoid too much concurrent use of the disk during index loading

Have you ever checked how much bandwidth those clients require /day?
I was surprised when I checked Kluge's post:

Yes, I saw this post. I don't mind - I have a flat rate fortunately.

30gb

Wow , things are getting interesting.
Can you come back in 20 - 30 days and post how this number has evolved?

I don't think it's that hard if you consider bitcoin also. I have 25GB if I count all the wallets/coins I have - 19 total. Bitcoin is the large one - my folder is 15.5GB.

Only 9.5GB with alternatives.

How many of those 19 are your running simultaneously ?

With this invasion of alt coins and their growing blockchains I always wondered how many people are indeed running a full node for multiple coins.

Is there somebody who has 5-10 different clients running the same time? How much space are your favorites using on your hdd? (or ssd).
And most important , which ones?
