The whole side chain doesn't need to be stored on any node, only that incoming side chain transactions come with proof of funds with a root-branch-leaf of that particular source. The node will then incorporate that transaction and relay to other nodes, continually pruning the tree as leaves go empty. It makes for a heavier transmitted transaction message, but a basically zero storage footprint. Downside is needing to re-sign transactions that don't go through if it doesn't get propagated quickly between root publishes. The actual transaction can get thrown away once the tree is updated, so the node only needs Bitcoin and the side chain's root.

Current low-mid end hardware costs about 0.001BTC, and storage is about 10MB/sat. If the blocks are fill for a year, that's a little more than 5ksat/yr. 100ksat startup cost and 5ksat/yr is really quite cheap. <br/><br/>With hardware costs going down and performance going up, I think a block size increase could be warranted. Carefully and cautiously, we could try 2MB, and then 4MB in another four years, maybe keeping trend to a maximum of 32MB as the adoption reaches the end of the S-curve.<br/><br/>A balance must be struck between throughput and security.

I&#39;m setting my sights not on this year but in five when adoption is up 10x and again after that. The chain doesn&#39;t need to contain all the world&#39;s transactions, but I don&#39;t want L1 to be only for the financial elite either.<br/><br/>2300tx/10min/8B ppl = 1tx/person per 66year<br/>64000/10min/8B ppl = 1tx/person per 2.4year<br/><br/>One of two things has to happen for a self-custody future: greater block sizes scaling partially with adoption or an L2 that is trustless and doesn&#39;t require direct and proportional L1 interaction. 2025-01-17T03:28:55+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqs9x5ahpcy5ll845kzaw07arjnkqe8z2z6nuq8epcklfpn6em8uljgzyzdy4n0tj7zktcn5jrw2vhyra8m9w302aswe5pq955k3nrq53xgnkmfrfmj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsq776eenvs8lcjxsymnknfyq5jkjcpq3lfhvlptsdwkdl0c0v5m3q8784vr'>nevent1q…84vr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Looks like floating granny underwear 😂 2025-01-17T02:01:58+01:00 https://nostr.ae/nevent1qqsw0vsd8l46ewglpv7evs4vtcc87ju2772t7g8rrhsh43xky8xdymczyzdy4n0tj7zktcn5jrw2vhyra8m9w302aswe5pq955k3nrq53xgnkt9ukh2 How expensive should it be to run a full node? Current low-mid end hardware costs about 0.001BTC, and storage is about 10MB/sat. If the blocks are fill for a year, that&#39;s a little more than 5ksat/yr. 100ksat startup cost and 5ksat/yr is really quite cheap. <br/><br/>With hardware costs going down and performance going up, I think a block size increase could be warranted. Carefully and cautiously, we could try 2MB, and then 4MB in another four years, maybe keeping trend to a maximum of 32MB as the adoption reaches the end of the S-curve.<br/><br/>A balance must be struck between throughput and security. The narrow optima is widening between these as of now, and I&#39;d rather a world in which self custody and everyday people interacting with L1 remains a thing for my children.<br/><blockquote class="border-l-05rem border-l-strongpink border-solid"><div class="-ml-4 bg-gradient-to-r from-gray-100 dark:from-zinc-800 to-transparent mr-0 mt-0 mb-4 pl-4 pr-2 py-2">quoting <br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Article"><a itemprop="url" href="/nevent1qqsz8annrezs6zfzrt4yaml3y4475tsx6l8hakuj5s99dfcgzws688cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygy6ftx7h9u9vh38fyxu5ewg860k2az74mqangzqtffdrxxpfzv38vpsgqqqqqqs2nxlx4" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1">nevent1q…xlx4</a></span> </div> Thinking about scaling again.

What if to be consider to be running a "full node" one participates in a database sharding proof of storage system, so it's ensured that the full chain will persist, but not necessarily on any single node? I can imagine a RAID striping type system across nodes. If a node keeps X of every Y blocks, and somehow proves it to its neighbors, and there are Y groups who all keep track of neighbors, the storage needed per node will be X/Y of the total size of the chain. Let's say 5 of 256, so adjacent groups have an 80% overlap, while reducing load to about 2%. Reconstruction would be quite rapid. If a group goes empty, the data could be reconstructed from four other groups, and a node could automatically manage to which group it is assigned. This would allow meaningful participation while greatly reducing load. Whole-chain full nodes would still be a thing for those who would want that, obviously.<br/><br/>To maintain the full node aspect of verifying chain integrity, each node proves to itself the change to the database, and the group publishes the agreed upon proof to the chain with a many-multi-sig (allowing for a latency), sorta like a parity, so the shard system will occupy exactly one transaction per block. This would become the basis, then, for a layer 2 of virtual addresses, wherein an on-chain address is non-custodially occupied by many sub addresses, and the per-shard database proof also contains the transactions of virtual addresses. Cross group transactions might have to be on-chain, but they could at least be rolled up after a signed cross-group acknowledgement (making the other group acknowledges the transactions into its virtual addresses). Cross-group lightning network could also become a thing.<br/><br/>This is starting to feel a bit like drive chains, NGL, but still a bit different. </blockquote> 2024-12-15T17:23:08+01:00
