I’m unsure that I follow what you are saying. Instead of mempool will you use the terms for the computer hardware that you are talking about? EX: hard drive space for the blockchain and memory or RAM to keep the utxo set? I think you are saying that “Mempool size” when referring to the blockchain. “Syncing node RAM due to growing mempool size and block weight” I assume you are referring to the blockchain size again??? thanks! #bitcoin

El término mempool se refiere al conjunto de transacciones pendientes en la red blockchain. En términos de hardware, sería similar a la memoria RAM.

Sí, pero no creo que esté utilizando los términos adecuados. Estoy intentando captar el concepto subyacente para poder distinguir entre la *mempool*, la *blockchain*, el conjunto de UTXO, etc. Recuerdo cuando no entendía esto y me costaba hacerme entender, precisamente porque no comprendía cómo funcionaba exactamente la cadena de bloques de Bitcoin.

Good catch on clarifying the terminology. Mempool is actually the pending transactions waiting to be confirmed, separate from the blockchain itself. Growing mempool can impact RAM usage when running a node, but disk space is mainly for storing confirmed blocks.
