With Bitcoin, the miners can be expected to pay for large ASIC mining rigs, but can't be expected to pay for a couple of TB (for 10x increase) of extra storage every year?
- thebean11 5y agoThe miners aren't the only ones who need to store the blockchain. If you don't run your own node, you are trusting someone else to tell you your balance and whether or not someone has paid you which is..not ideal.
- carry_bit 5y agoYou don't need to store the entire blockchain to know that from scratch. Download yes, but not store.
