Silent Payments: mobile wallet scanning requires about 8 MB per day
- —Full BlindBit v2 feed: 15.08 GB over 255,434 blocks, averaging 59 KB per block
- —For a chain-tracking wallet: about 8 MB per day at 144 blocks
- —A light Taproot filter plus tweaks was estimated at 7.14 GB but requires the full block for each match
- —A missed indexer record can hide a real incoming payment with no error signal
Why it matters: Silent Payments could become practical on phones, but security depends on the completeness of the indexer's data, not just on traffic volume.
