Comment on Gmaxwell's “prove how (non)-fractional your Bitcoin reserves are” schemeparentComments−nwh12yI don't think we are anywhere near the blocks being half full, lots are less than 100kB except for Eligius. Is there anywhere displaying this metric?−gnaritas12yI wasn't trying to put a hard number on it; I said about half because that's the number I keep hearing repeated when discussions occur.https://blockchain.info/charts/n-transactions-per-blockLots of other interesting charts there. In any case, it doesn't really matter as to the main point that exchanges don't do on block trading, the volume would be far too great for what the network can handle.
