Dash size on harddisk

Hi, How does dash handle the database size on the harddisk.
Is it always growing like bitcoin blockchain?

Is it going to get to large?
 
I understand the essence, but Nakamoto f***ed the thing up with his 4.2MB per year.
This is the essence of the problem, and it's not going to take off with this.

We now get a lot of different coins in stead of a large one
 
Average salary in USA was 40k $ per Y in 2014. When employee see that he have a small hdd amount, he walks to supermarket and buy additional 1000G for 50usd (4 working hours) and forget about it for next 20-50 years.

Average inflation of US Dollar is 2.5%, 40k*0,025 = 1000 usd per year. Here is a problem!

IMHO, When blockchain growing size will be a real problem we found a solution. For example we can create redundancy distributed network database on masternode network. You can google for it. This solutions was described since '80.

Have you looked at the size of our Blockchain and compared it to BTC Blockchain?
... a little research just might answer your question......

1GB per day would be game over for end users, but end users aren't the ones who will have to deal with it. Masternodes get paid directly from the blockchain to keep up with the hardware and bandwidth requirements, which puts DASH leagues ahead of BTC already in terms of scaling into territory where those things start becoming prohibitively expensive for non-incentivized nodes.

Currently, masternodes generate enough income to be able to afford up to $530 per month to operate their nodes (currently WAY more than enough to service the network). That is enough for some serious storage, bandwidth and processing power. If the Dash network grows to the point where there are 50 txns per second then the masternode compensation would be many times that amount.
