Are you sure about that? Wouldn't something like gzip applied to the blocks reduce their size by like 99%?
Yes - gzip won't do much at all - why don't you try it and see for yourself?
Which efforts are going on behind the scenes exactly?
Things like SegWit (you could search to find out if you're interested although I suspect you're just trying to age your account in order to qualify for an ad sig).
Yes I was doing some checks, only about 25% gain with compressions like gzip, 7zip... so doesn't help much.
Thanks for the info.
Looking forward for that SegWit.
Any plans for a release date on that?
