it is 2023 and people still think the concern over larger block sizes is storage cost rather than bandwidth, smfh
Discussion
4tb is $80 on Amazon lol
If it's an HDD then it likely has shingled magnetic recording - SMR, a technology used to cram more storage but the downside is a tremendous performance penalty. Like XX seconds to sync a single modern block. Mostly useless for a node. Storage space may have gotten cheaper but at a performance cost that makes these SMR drives unusable.
Disk read / write bandwidth is a big deal…I’m not certain bitcoin core is well optimized in terms of disk read/write
At roughly 4MB neither is a problem
nostr.build have loads of storage, we are using a fraction of the max allocated amount.
In the meantime I’m getting overage charges left and right on my TX-Out…

I thought LN kinda ended this debate.
There are a variety of concerns and arguably there is merit to a few of them.
I wholeheartedly agree
Why must you be so sensible
