So the pace of block storage is increased a lot... my node has 200GB left.
I think that 3MB every 10 min. will deplete my SSD in 14 months from now...
what are your plans?

It's a good time for the plebs to start graduating their RPi administration skills. It is certainly not a preferred event on the timeline, but the next block space scarcity crisis is clearly on the horizon, and we can think ordinals for accelerating the arrival of the attack scenario. I struggle to understand why people think this is "good for bitcoin".

6xX = Y, Yx24 = Z, Zx365 = GB a year

I think this "inscription" thing will 100% blow over.
My best guess is that average block size will come down to 1300 kB in a month or two.
statoshi has some nice graphs. The top one will come down to "normal" when the new-found NFT hype has subsided.

A 4TB ssd should be fine for a long time, you can get one for less than 300usd.

If they keep going with almost 4MB blocks constantly, it'll be 2 years. Just do the math for whatever you think the average block size will be.

How do you only have 200GB? The chain is only 517GB. I guess you are running other stuff. You will be less than a year if blocks start being 4MB constantly. 4MB blocks is 210GB a year.

Fulcrum(electrum) is what's taking up more space.. I run electrs too. As for whirpool and BOS.... I wouldn't say you "need". I gotta try sparrow terminal.

Sparrow is great you can use it to mix and move funds from one wallet to the node for free.

So, I got sparrow server downloaded but there isn't much documentation on it. I have it in a folder on one of my debian servers. Is this thing ready to go and all I need to do is run the bin? I need some kinda document to know whats going on here.
