I think it would be a lot more than that. According to the Scalability page (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Scalability) if Bitcoin took over all credit card transactions, that would be about 1.14GB per block. I believe that is 58.5PB per year. (6*24*365*1.14/1024) This would also mean the distribu

I find it likely that we will at some point have supernodes. If we have browser based wallets then the server for these automatically becomes supernodes. Further, if we move along that direction, it becomes much simpler to use both the scheme I proposed or to use a a lot of other schemes for sha

Is it just me or does it seem inevitable that at some point supernodes will emerge that other nodes trust to validate transactions for them? Supernodes needn't even store the entire block chain and transaction pool...it would be sufficient that they keep lists of IP addresses of other trustworthy n

DHTs and Bitcoin: First, lets define the problem we want to solve: scalability - when bitcoin takes over all credit card transactions (!), and even before that, we will meet a scalability problem. The blockchain will grow rapidly, (1MB/10min or 50GB/yr) and we will constantly have transactions
