RE: Ethereum Blockchain Heading to 1TB!? Does Size Matter?

in #ethereum7 years ago

So every time
Block is added the size grows . Doesn't each node has this same size 142 gb per node in case of bitcoin. How is this scalable? It keeps on growing how would ordinary pc act as a node several years from now?

Sort:  

Each node holds the same size and blocks, that's the whole idea of the blockchain. If Ethereum's blockchain keeps growing, it would require more space to host its massive size per node, i.e. less nodes in the future? Unless they come up with a solution to solve that. And that's the dilemma.

Ripple for example solved that problem by using a ledger instead of a blockchain. Check this link for an explanation of how it works
