I've just doubled my allowed bandwidth (paid by Bitcoin Lightning Network) to 2 TB/month. However, the webhost hasn't processed the payment yet. If it processes it on time, you guys can continue downloading tomorrow. If not, it will reach it's 1 TB bandwidth limit tomorrow and get be suspended until the end of the month.

To be continued ........


Update: upgrade completed! I'm curious though: I'd love to know what this data is being used for. There must be more than a thousand downloads per month now.

Wow, more than a thousand downloads per month. That's bound to eat up a lot of bandwidth seeing as each download must be ~1 GB.

My guess would be some of those are people utilizing your list to locate their full addresses using first bits. I collect physical Bitcoin collectibles and currently use smartbit.com.au to find full addresses associated with physical coins using the provided first bits.

I feel it would be really neat to do that using shell and not having to go through a third party. But for my use case I would probably need to download the file only once and use the same copy over and over seeing as most older collectibles should already be under your latest list.

Thanks for your work on this. Count on one more download and and additional 1 GB increase in bandwidth in the next few days because I am going to download a copy and spin up a small script for my own use soon. Wink
