- Increase BLOCK_CHAIN_SIZE from 120GB to 150GB
- Increase CHAIN_STATE_SIZE from 2GB to 4GB
I took the local sizes of the blocks and chainstate directory, and added a bit extra to accomodate the near future (15GB for the chain and 1GB for the chainstate).

Github PR description says 150MB and I think 150MB is more realistic.

MB? Looks like a GB to me :stuck_out_tongue:

Eh yes, thanks for noticing. Updated to be really 150 exabyte.

qt: Increase BLOCK_CHAIN_SIZE constants

- Increase `BLOCK_CHAIN_SIZE` from 120GB to 150GB
- Increase `CHAIN_STATE_SIZE` from 2GB to 4GB

I took the local sizes of the blocks and chainstate directory, and added
a bit extra to accomodate the near future (15GB for the chain and 1GB
for the chainstate).
