Re: [Bitcoin-development] [Bulk] Re: Fwd: Block Size Increase Requirements
Aren't you calculating bandwidth for a singly-connected node? A "highly connected" miner could have 30-100 node connections so you probably need to increase your traffic estimates by that factor. I.e. For 100MB blocks, 30-100 Mbps and $60-$100 per day data costs. > You should be able to handle 20MB blocks no problem; if I round up to > 100MB per block that works out to 1.3Mbps. > > > We also use Aliyun and Linode cloud services for block > propagation.

(it is actually a small multiple of N, because of the overhead of 'inv' messages, and if we ever get really serious about scaling up we'll need to fix the protocol to reduce that overhead, but that won't be a problem for years). -- -- Gavin Andresen -- ___ Bitcoin-development mailing list Bitcoin-development@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/bitcoin-development
