Ethereum: How much information does your Bitcoin client be downloaded for full synchronization?
When you expect your recently created Bitcoin wallet address with the network, an important question comes to mind: How much information does my Bitcoin customer be downloaded to be completely synchronized?
To provide the answer, we have some details of Blockchain in Ethereum and what is needed to achieve Fullsync.
What is full synchronization?
In Ethereum (and other evidence cryptocurrency such as Bitcoin), Fullsync refers to the customer’s synchronization with the entire block chain. It includes downloading each block, event and data point from the last 400 blocks (or about a year) on the network.
How much information does a Bitcoin customer need?
Suppose you have a rough estimate, assume the average block size of 50 kb (kilobyt). This is a reasonable estimate based on historical information. With this in mind, this is our calculation:
*The total number of bars in the excavated and added blocks to the Ethereum block chain after the network was created (approximately 400 million) x 50 kb per block =
20 GT
Convert this to megabytes (MB), which is a more common measurement unit to store data: 1 GB = 1024 MB. So,
- 20 GB / 1024 MB / GB ≈ 19.5 MB
Best guess/calculation
When you expect your Bitcoin wallet to synchronize, it is likely that your client has already downloaded about
19-20 MB data to be completely synchronized.
Remember that this calculation is an estimate and may vary depending on your customer and network conditions. However, the 19-20 MB should give you a good starting point for monitoring progress or adjusting the synchronization settings.
What’s next?
Once your customer has downloaded these original files, it will continue to charge more blocks and data points as new ones are added to Blockchain. As the network grows, the same amount of downloading information is.
You can stay at the forefront of Bitcoin’s progress, you can follow the synchronization process using tools such as Blockchain.com or the official customer software of Ethereum. These features allow you to track block heights, events and other important metrics in real time.
