Block chain bloat

When using Darksend I saw one sending can be splitted into many transactions. I think this can cause blockchain bloat for Darkcoin.

Is there any solution for this?
 
I just replied to you on BCT...

Summary: Don't worry about it, only a small percentage of Darkcoin transactions are Darksend transactions. Majority are normal Bitcoin-like transactions. The Blockchain bloat is minimal.

Hope this helps!
 
I strongly believe that Darkcoin will success and when it success the blockchain becoming very heavy. Currently, Bitcoin's blockchain database is bigger than 30 GB, and it takes several days to sync.

If Darkcoin solve this problem first (maybe, with a decentralize blockchain), I am sure that Darkcoin will over take Bitcoin soon.

Per IRC channel #darkcoin conversation, our dev, Aswan, has talked about pruning the block chain if that's possible. I'm sure it's something that our devs will tackle in the future.
 
In the latest interview Even mentions Darkcoin will use "Headers first blocks" and you'll be able to sync the entire blockchain in a few minutes, so even if the blockchain does become very large only the masternodes will need to hold the entire blockchain and normal users will simply need to download the headers, which reduces the size and increases speed massively.

It's here at around 50 minutes https://letstalkbitcoin.com/blog/post/beyond-bitcoin-26-darkcoin

I think this potential problem has already been solved.
 
I'll repost this calculation I did on another thread, you might find it useful (a few days out of date now btw)

Initial stats taken from bitinfocharts:-

Darkcoin blockchain size = 0.5715 GigaBytes
Days since genesis block=370 days
Average Rate of growth for blockchain per day=1.5 MegaBytes/day

quarkcoin block size = 2.4 GigaBytes
days since genesis block = 550 days
average rate of growth for blockchain per day = 4.3 MegaBytes/day

litecoin blockchain size = 3.99 GigaBytes
days since genesis block = 1201 days
average rate of growth for blockchain per day = 3.3 MegaBytes/day

dogecoin blockchain size = 8.49 GigaBytes
days since genesis block = 412 days
average rate of growth for blockchain per day = 20 MegaBytes/day

bitcoin blockchain size = 34.3 GigaBytes
days since genesis block = 2205 days
average rate of growth for blockchain = 15 MegaBytes/day

Yes thats a feature for the major release 0.12 i'm working on but that's not coming soon :)
We'll see how fast I can get it done.
