Dash size on harddisk

[Daniel Hendriks]

Hi, How does dash handle the database size on the harddisk.
Is it always growing like bitcoin blockchain?

Is it going to get to large?

Yes.

Yes.

The masternodes can handle blockchains 100x the size of btc blockchain, so it's no longer a problem for users.

Thanks, but why is there no genius who fixes this problem once and for all?

A genius who invents a blockchain without a blockchain?
I think you need to try and understand the tech more. The blockchain is the essence of it all.

It's not a problem, blockchain it's a safety for our money. Storage price is a very small payment for this miracle.

I understand the essence, but Nakamoto f***ed the thing up with his 4.2MB per year.
This is the essence of the problem, and it's not going to take off with this.

We now get a lot of different coins in stead of a large one

I'm looking forward to your solution.

I don't think i understand your thinking.

See how many coins there are?
If there was just one perfect one we wouldn't have to create all those fake currency

I think you are fake. Or extremely confused.

Average salary in USA was 40k $ per Y in 2014. When employee see that he have a small hdd amount, he walks to supermarket and buy additional 1000G for 50usd (4 working hours) and forget about it for next 20-50 years.

Average inflation of US Dollar is 2.5%, 40k*0,025 = 1000 usd per year. Here is a problem!

IMHO, When blockchain growing size will be a real problem we found a solution. For example we can create redundancy distributed network database on masternode network. You can google for it. This solutions was described since '80.

It's just a freedom of choose of your favorite coin.

Have you looked at the size of our Blockchain and compared it to BTC Blockchain?
... a little research just might answer your question......

With the current size 2MB / 2,5 min it could grow 1GB per day allowing up to 56 transactions per second.

Better start and find a solution now before things will break, and it will soon

I'm thinking............................ 'concerned trolling' ........................

 

[Daniel Hendriks]

I'm thinking realistic facts. This needs to get solved as soon as possible.

This problem is still far off in the future for Dash, so I don't think there is a need for panic, but I agree with you that it should be handled eventually.
Having said that, I think that in time, some solution will be found.
For example, take a look at this thread:

1GB per day would be game over for end users, but end users aren't the ones who will have to deal with it. Masternodes get paid directly from the blockchain to keep up with the hardware and bandwidth requirements, which puts DASH leagues ahead of BTC already in terms of scaling into territory where those things start becoming prohibitively expensive for non-incentivized nodes.

Currently, masternodes generate enough income to be able to afford up to $530 per month to operate their nodes (currently WAY more than enough to service the network). That is enough for some serious storage, bandwidth and processing power. If the Dash network grows to the point where there are 50 txns per second then the masternode compensation would be many times that amount.

"1GB per day would be game over for end users"

Then why would a user not use a normal bank account?

 

[lynx]

End users don't need to run a full node to use Dash.

 

[Daniel Hendriks]

Yes, but what then are the benefits. I then use a regular bank account.
