Memory excessive #11
Description
The program needs a huge amount of memory for the blockchain, as the size is
determined at compile-time, I assume. This makes it currently impossible for me
to run it on small 1&1 vservers and on EC2 micro instances. I would be ever so
happy if the memory was dynamically allocated upon need. Even if a huge mmap'ed
file on disk would be ok, I assume blocks are not read very often.
Thank you for your existing work, I have patched it to support Riecoin.
