This simply requires a restart of `bitcoind` and ten or fifteen minutes to get the blockchain resynced.

_Be aware that the requirements might change over time as the blockchain continues to grow. Watch for "Out of Memory" or "Disk Space is Low!" errors. Either one indicates that you should migrate to the next larger machine!_
