so how is your superior coin going mETH heads? seems like your

This is what I literally never understood with blockchain. If a coin were to get worldwide adoption in finance or industry, what would stop a single node from growing exponentially into hundreds of terabytes? Especially the new cryptos which promise to include a bunch of large shit in the blockchain like programs, videos, images or even worse, other blockchains?

ETH blockchain is bigger than BTC?
This sounds like trouble -.-

>>3431218
yup, it has been for quite some time. mETH heads have no idea though cuz they just store their eth in myetherwallet and never interact with any of eth's shitty systems.

ethereum is such a bloated shitcoin

>>3431212

they are going to make it into a rolling wallet apparently, discarding the oldest history first to make room

>>3431259
How is the oldest data preserved if it's discarded? Wouldn't the first people on the blockchain lose their assets in such a case or how would that work?

>>3431313
They discard spent history and keep unspent coins.

Don't you need to know the history to know the amount of coins in wallets or am I being a brainlet here?

mETH heads will also need better CPUs soon

Retards. Ever heard about pruning? the state in fucking 2015 is not important anymore.

>>3431371

you don't need to know that the ether was generated in adress a, then sent to b then to c e f to finally end in adress g, you just need to know that g has x unspent ether. That's what unspent outputs are.

>>3431243
this is actually terrible.
I made a ETH transaction and a BTC transaction.
Tbh they were about equally fast to send+confirm.
-.- fucking ETH

>>3431423
Has it been done successfully before and is it on any roadmap?

buying Ethbet anyway, it will still moon OP.

>>3431512
it's already fucking implemented in geth, it's called fast sync. OP is a fudder

>>3431568
If the blockchain is pruned however, is it truly decentralized anymore if it's stored on megacomputers? Won't we eventually reach a bank situation?

>>3431672
ummm yes? It still has 3x as many nodes as bitcoin and they validate all txs. It doesn't matter that many nodes don't store the full history.

w-we are the early a-adopters1!!
