Block Size to Increase from 1 MB to 8 MB

Blockchain is the ledger in Bitcoin network which records all transaction details. These transactions are registered in 10 minute blocks of 1 megabyte each. The Blockchain grows as the number of blocks increase. New blocks are created each time after the previous block exceeds the block size. The block size was limited to 1 MB during the initial days of Bitcoin when the number of transactions were less and the Blockchain didn't have much use apart from recording the transactions.

Bitcoin 0.8.6 Fixes Bugs And Updates Block Size Limits

Bitcoin 0.8.6 was officially released this week and the incremental update brings a few bug fixes and some nifty features, such as relaxed restrictions on block size. The biggest changes affect block size. The maximum size of free transactions is now 1,000 bytes instead of 10,000 bytes, allowing more transactions per block. Since each block allows 27,000 bytes for free transactions, this means that as many as 27 free transactions will be available per block, up from three or less in 0.8.5 and previous releases. The minimum output requirement of 0.01 BTC has been dropped, too. The....

Everledger has devised a way that insurance companies can utilize the block chain to ensure that the items they are insuring are what they are said to be. This is not entirely secure, in the sense that a dedicated scammer could find a way to modify the actual diamond or what have you that was....
