RE: I Have A Dream!
Wow, this is a really great vision! I am afraid that building a blockchain that supports a whole state would be very hard to sustain from the hardware point of view. For example at the moment, Steem is using up a lot of resources on computers which run full nodes. On the other side, I believe that this system can be achieved simply by changing a bit the way Steem behaves or even build it from an SMT when these will come out.
I really think that the idea is worth being discussed, it is pretty good!
Thank you for your support Andrew, it will great to conversate about it.
My first home computer had 1KB internal memory. And I was lucky to have the 16 KB extension. When the Amiga 500 hit the market it had 512KB. Think was 6 years later. With a 512KB extention it made a whopin 1MB.
30 years later, a simple desktop has a least 4GB of RAM. Full nodes for Steem have 256 GB. Think a bit more than 128 GB is used.
When you go multicore multithread blockchain with 1TB RAM per CPU core you are able to handle a lot of data. This is probably still a wee bit out off league for you and me, but within 3 to 5 years I think full nodes will be able to buy and use them.
Think Google is working like that. Even using clusters op high end computers to hold all data in RAM.
Dutchland is not going to be that huge so it will fit in 1TB at its highest peak. :-)
Yep, and I think we are almost there from the implementation of a blockchain that does that because as I said before, Steem is almost there, it just need another behavior of the community and maybe some small adjustments.
