Maximum BlockSize - post alpha26

Question

Hi ,

I see that the maximum blocksize has been increased to 8 MB default and the maximum which can be defined as per the params.dat is 1,000,000,000 bytes ( which is 1GB ?)

maximum-block-size = 8388608            # Maximum block size in bytes. (1000 - 1000000000)

max-std-op-return-size = 2097152        # Maximum size of OP_RETURN metadata in standard transactions, in bytes. (0 - 8388608)

 

Maximum blocksize can be of 1 GB?  please confirm.

Thanks

Answer 1

For now the practical limit is 32 MB per block, though we're working to increase that by the end of the alpha phase.
