I can't think of a single reason a PHP script like this would need that much memory to serve a single user. Everything big would be handled by the database, what could 500MB possibly be used for?

Doesn't quite hold true once you get done to hand written and optimised binaries though. There's no way of making assembly easily readable to everyone, no matter how relaxed the developer.

I doubt it was the programmers intention. Sit back and realise that somebody is probably going to be murdered for pushing to the wrong database.

Have the sensors ever been good? I've always found the compass to either constantly lose calibration, or when it finds it, it's a good 90° off where it should be. Since they introduced the hardware in the iPhone 4, essentially.

13GB with indexes now. If it's an issue, just use an SPV client like MultiBit that doesn't store the blockchain at all.

They smell nicer too, speaking from a constant user from Australia. Just have to be careful not to iron them, otherwise they shrink to a tiny tiny postage stamp and you have to embarrassingly take it to the bank to have it replaced.

That's incorrect. You can shoehorn your data in, and blockchain.info tried for a period, but removed it when it drew the ire of almost every core developer. It just wastes space and bloats the unspent outputs database.

Exactly. In the case of the most recent fork, it was a completely unexpected implementation bug that meant that the underlying database ran out of locks, different to the more recent builds that didn't. That was caused just by differen

Alternate implementations make me uncomfortable. The original client is not documented much at all, and there's very little room for error. I salute the amount of effort that's gone into this though.

It should be noted that it appears to be a persistent hack that has been around for some time. The defacement was quite a lengthy animated video. The attacker had at least access as the PHP user, which of course has database access. There&#

Symbolic really. The same servers are sitting there, just idle rather than pumping out pages.
