We obviously need a bigger block size if we want to challenge the big payment electronic systems. My main concern is that the people running nodes could be severely decreased due the blockchain being bigger than ever.
This is my issue as well. If the blockchain.. when the block chain reaches 1 TB.. there will be issues with everyone running a node..
IT would appear the size of the blockchain is out pacing the upgrade in harddrives...
No. No. And just no, stop saying this if you don't want to be seen as a intentionally misinforming.
The size of the blocks is, and has always been,
bandwidth limited.
One bitcoin buys about 6 TB of hard drive.
