Topic: Maximum block size (Read 497 times)
Thanks for your responses!
Yes, the max block size is 1 MB instead.
For example, the Block 272187 is 879 KB.

For whatever reason, that wiki is very outdated in many sections, has many stubs, etc. - which is very unfortunate, because it's probably the first place a lot of people will go for info.
The max block size was increased to 1MB aeons ago. It will probably increase significantly by the time QT 1.0 is released.

Hello all,
I'm pretty new in this forum and this is my first topic --despite I've been reading some bits for a while-- so be easy on me.
After reading about the new transaction fees policy [1] in which it is explained that blocks have a maximum size of 250000 bytes I was surprised as in other points of the wiki it is explained to be 1 MB. Are miners generating smaller blocks now? Or is it only the default client behavior?
I suppose we can report the outdated parts if the limit has really changed.
Well, thanks in advance
