That's a completely different topic.
Regardless of what Bitcoin's block capacity is, whether it is 1 byte or 1 terabyte, Bitcoin should continue staying as a payment system and not a cloud storage.
just imagine the day when everyone has 50TB hdds (yes that day is going to come) and bitcoin is only using 80GB per year. that seems like a serious problem but maybe no one else thinks so.
400MB per year is not the growth rate of Bitcoin's blockchain. A conservative estimate with approx. 1.5MB per block gives you a growth of roughly 2016 blocks per two weeks times 26 (for a year) times 1.5MB which equals 78,624MB per year, thus somewhere in the ballpark of 80GB growth per year at minimum.
I wonder where you got this 400MB figure from...
my mistake.

And those 240TB harddrives are still vaporware.
apparently there is a working prototype. not good enough for you? but expect to open up that wallet when they come to market. unless you're willing to wait for 10 years for prices to come down...Quote
Try an Initial Blockchain Download and node sync on a mechanical harddrive, it's a real funnot so much for the drive. You can keep the irony if you detect it.
no thanks. i'm not interested in downloading 450GB and then having to keep it in sync all the time. you're welcome.
