Hi! Been looking around but unable to find an official trustworthy information about the blockchain current size. I see 'should be around...' but no actual statistic. Is there a way to know if the blockchain is 218GB or 400GB, etc?

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> 225gb approx

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> I'm seeing 230gb locally

Thanks! As my nick says, am just learning, and want to understand the 'why' all I see is "aprox", is that there's no current factual statistic? or the 'aprox' term is due to the fact of the continously growing process, but the 'aprox' means more like "As of now"? Forgive my ignorance... ;-)

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Its not deterministic. Each persons node may be slightly different

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> depends if mesuring GiB or GB as well

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> 246897131520 bytes = 229.94 GiB

"I'm seeing 230gb locally" Ok, thanks again!, undertanding better.. you have a fully downloaded blockchain (local node) and just check on the size of the file? Is that more or less the way to see that?

" 246897131520 bytes = 229.94 GiB" Beautiful! Ok, thanks to all!

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> It is also 246.89 GB

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Yea. I have a fully downloaded and online full node that is the byte coining that i just sent (246897131520)

"It is also 246.89 GB' jajajaja... see... that's what I don't fully get...

Got it!

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> 1024 bytes in a kibibyte. 1000 bytes in a kilobyte

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> If you run `ls -lh` on linux, it returns 230 gibibytes. Most people use the term gigabyte though, in which case woukd be referring to 1000 bytes, which would mean the blockchain is 246.9 gigabytes

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> That being said, this is on my system. Someone elses system may show 225 or 235GiB

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> The database on-disk size does not shrink. If it is ever expanded beyond its "full size

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> ", it will remain expanded until thev internal size catches up

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> As an example, the txpool is one the data pieces that is not static across nodes, and can contribute to differences in on-disk blockchain size

Thanks!!!!!

<o​frnxmr:xmr.mx> Np

Well, since you're all so knowledgeable and helpful, let me take advantage of that generosity one more time with a completely unrelated issue I'm wrestling with. Hope I’m not pushing my luck!

I Downloaded the full node, obviously 'pruned' because the size on disk is about 95GB, anyways, my GUI said "Connected" and also "Syncronized" or something like that, I don't have it in front of me, so forgive me if not precised on the terminology, yesterday I try to make a payment but every time I clicked on the 'Send' or 'Transer' or 'Pay' (can't recall for sure) gave me the error

that the daemon was busy, I was connected to Internet, tried many times stoping - restarting node, totally closing wallet - reopening, etc., no luck. After many attempts, connected to a remote and transaction completed inmediatelly.

What sould I look into to find the why?

<r​ucknium:monero.social> Eager2Learn: If you shut off your node for a day, turned it on, and tried to send a transaction immediately, that could happen. You would have to wait until your node synced the last 24 hours of data.

<r​ucknium:monero.social> For more help, you can go to #monero-support

Ok, let me explain how I do it. Before I start my wallet I run a bash file that starts synchronizing the blockchain, it says like 'it's one day old', etc, and starts the sync proccess, until it says 'fully sync', then, I close the terminal, open the GUI, says "Connected" and also "Synchronized" (something like that), but of course I understand that is continuously growing and even

few seconds later when I open the GUI there would be some Syncing, but if it goes similar than terminal should be done in few minutes the most. I dealt with that for over an hour and nothing. You suggest I should just leave the GUI long time before I process a transaction? Sorry for such lengthy posts!

Thanks!
