10MB record transaction size shows what’s possible on Bitcoin – CalvinAyre.com

10MB record transaction size shows what’s possible on Bitcoin – CalvinAyre.com
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter


This is a guest contribution by Jon Southurst, a writer with CoinGeek.com. Bitcoin SV is breaking records, and its ability to massively scale means new possibilities, and cheaper fees. This article first appeared on CoinGeek.com.

10mb-record-transaction-size-shows-whats-possible-on-bitcoinBitcoin has been breaking more records—the last 48 hours has seen two of the largest transactions ever processed. The two transactions, which saw two high-definition photos recorded forever on the Bitcoin SV (BSV) blockchain, were 5.8MB and 9.74MB.

Those size figures are for single transactions, not blocks. Not so long ago, even blocks of that size would’ve made headlines.

Though more proof-of-concept than practical (for now), the transactions show the promise Bitcoin BSV offers for blockchain-based content and data storage. This will eventually lead to the Metanet, a more permanent and indexable version of today’s internet with a built-in digital economic/payment structure.

Developer “Libs“, who oversees the BitPaste project, announced the records on Twitter, breaking one record with the first picture showing a flowery field:

Just had it pointed out to me that this TX is currently the largest single TX in BitCoin’s history. By quite a margin!https://t.co/GEWUS8AC3V

Planning to try 10MB soon https://t.co/Y2ZSCrB6z2

Libs then followed up with another, larger, image of almost 10,000 galaxies taken in 2003 or 2004 by the Hubble Space Telescope. It broke the previous record.

1. Take a 28MB version of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field.
2. Put it in a TX and give to miners.
3. Get told to bugger off.
4. Gradually reduce size of photo and repeat.
…
10MB is todays limit. (& only @TaalBlockchain accept that size)https://t.co/VKJ8xNJeku

— Libs (@libitx) June 1, 2020

They used Bitcoin’s Merchant API (M/API) to upload both images. The 5.8MB transaction was included in block processed by Mempool, while the second 9.74MB transaction was in block #637526 with an “Unknown” processor.

For both transactions, Libs paid a fee of around 0.05 sat/B (satoshis per byte). The first image cost 0.02900735 BSV (US$5.90 at time of writing) and the second 0.04874994 BSV (US$9.95).

As a comparison, the current average transaction fee on the Bitcoin Core (BTC) network is US$2.40. In the past month that average fee has been over US$6.40. Those are fees for everyday financial transactions, too—and don’t even think about uploading a 5 or 10MB image to BTC, since whole block sizes are limited to 1-4MB.

What processors can/will handle

Per Libs’ second tweet, it was a deliberate attempt to push transaction processing to the limits currently available. They also noted that TAAL is the only processor willing to accept a 10MB single transaction, making it possible the “Unknown” miner was actually TAAL.

Though these two transactions demonstrate Bitcoin’s technical capabilities, it’s probably not a great idea to try uploading high-def images to the blockchain en masse, at least in single transactions….
