Moore's law is not keeping up with the memory usage as the unspent transaction memory requirement has doubled in 1 year and the cost of memory has only gone down by 20% so once again the scaling problems of bitcoin are showing themselves.

Today, the UTXO database is about 650MiB on disk, 4GB when decompressed into memory. DRAM costs about $10 per GB, so you need to spend about $40 on memory if you want absolute fastest access to the UTXO. Not a big deal.
...
'Assuming the UTXO set continues to double and RAM prices continue to drop 20% per year, next year youll have to spend about $64. Ten years from now, over $4,000'

Looks like there's a fork planned to solve this BTC problem at 2016.

What is the solution they are using?
