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

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.

Right, and in this context I believe that he is talking about the UXTO set but saying mempool or something else.

This is a genuine question. I am not trying to be funny. Are you talking about Bitcoin Cash or Bitcoin Satoshi Vision? The Bitcoin blockchain that I am talking about: 1. Has over 700GB of data that takes up hard drive space. 2. UTXO set will not fit on 8GB of computer (RAM) Memory because it is over 10GB. 3. The default mempool size of 300MB that Bitcoin Knots or Core has nothing to do with performance on the computer nor blockchain, nor how much money we need to spend to increase it. It just allows you to store more transactions for a shorter or longer time. #bitcoin
