Hi forum,

I am currently using bitcoin-qt from bitcoin-0.8.1-linux.tar.gz.
I am wondering why my data directory ".bitcoin" has a size (du -sh) of 9.7G, while the current blockchain size is only 6445 MB, according to http://blockchain.info/charts/blocks-size .

What's the size of your data directory?
