I suspect theoreticalbts is one and the same person with @theoretical who is one of the main authors of the SMT whitepaper.

Technical question (I'm trying to up my game and want to learn how to set up and run a witness): the steem blockchain produces 28800 blocks per day of up to 65 Kb each. That means that theoretically the blockchain could grow to up to 1.78 GB per day which means that by now, after 2 years, the full steem blockchain could (in theory, at maximum space utilization) be occupying 1.2 TB of disk space.

Now it is probably a lot smaller than that in reality but I was wondering, is there some kind of archiving solution already in place or it's considered too early to start thinking about that ?
