Would it not be possible to buy a harddrive with the blockchain already on it?
Downloading 700GB P2P, I guess that would take weeks or even months.
Every package sent around the globe usually is faster.
In 4 years, a 700 GB USB stick will be a normal thing.
1TB usb is currently around $600. Plus, loading fees, plus delivery, plus taxes, lets say its around
$400 $300 delivered to your door in 4 years. Would you buy one?
Don't forget that monthly bandwidth cost.
Why do you want to store the Blockchain on the most expensive media? Just drop it on a inexpensive 3.5" harddrive and you set to go. The cost
of harddrives are cheap in relation to memory sticks and the size & price ratio of older drives {second hand drives} are also very affordable. I can
get second hand drives for next to nothing. You can put loads of smaller second hand drives in a RAID configuration.
