Not every node&#xA;needs to store a complete copy of the blockchain.&#xA;&#xA;&#xA;On Wed, Mar 29, 2017 at 11:18 AM David Vorick via bitcoin-dev &lt;&#xA;bitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org&gt; wrote:&#xA;&#xA;&gt; Perhaps you are fortunate to have a home computer that has more than a&#xA;&gt; single 512GB SSD.

Bitcoin consumes more than half of that, which feels&#xA;&gt; very expensive, especially if it motivates you to buy another drive.&#xA;&gt;&#xA;&gt; I have talked to several people who cite this as the primary reason that&#xA;&gt; they are reluctant to join the full node club.&#xA;&gt; _______________________________________________&#xA;&gt; bitcoin-dev mailing list&#xA;&gt; bitcoin-dev at lists.linuxfoundation.org&#xA;&gt; https://lists.linuxfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/bitcoin-dev&#xA;&gt;&#xA;-- &#xA;Andrew Johnson&#xA;-------------- next part --------------&#xA;An HTML attachment was scrubbed...&#xA;URL: &lt;http://lists.linuxfoundation.org/pipermail/bitcoin-dev/attachments/20170329/a4c50e5f/attachment.html&gt;</html></oembed>
