Mesh growth

Open lrettig opened this issue 4 years ago • 1 comments

What are our latest estimates on mesh growth over time? Given how out of hand this has gotten in Ethereum recently (it's currently 300-400gb) - and the fact that Spacemesh will have greater throughput, and a similar VM and account model - I'm concerned that, pretty soon, you would no longer be able to run a Spacemesh full node on commodity hardware (which sort of defeats the purpose of our economic model). Of course, this also slows down syncing of new nodes.
