Spammer only spends money 1x during lifetime, but miner has to keep bigger disk-space forever (2 hard disc consume more electricity than single one)
OK. Provide me with
your estimates for the following (and explain how you arrived at your numbers) and I'll update my table using your numbers:
1. The cost per node to store 1 GB of additional blockchain data for 5 years, assume the outputs are spent.
2. The cost per node to store 1 GB of additional blockchain data for 5 years, assuming the outputs are unspent.
I'm sorry, I have no estimates. I know that bloat-chain is not solution There are better solutions how to organize blockchain.
My full node just crashed ... all data are lost ... downloading 6 years 25 weeks. ... hmm I hope that it is only me and there will remain some copy of blockchain. :-) (not joking)
Don't worry. According to Mike Hearn Bitcoin can survive just fine with 4 or 6 (forgot which) copies of the blockchain
