Hello all,
I think it is time to move forward with pruning nodes, i.e. nodes that
fully validate and relay blocks and transactions, but which do not keep
(all) historic blocks around, and thus cannot be queried for these.
The biggest roadblock is making sure new and old nodes that start up are
I'd imagined that nodes would be able to pick their own ranges to keep
rather than have fixed chosen intervals. Everything or two weeks is
rather restrictive - presumably node operators are constrained by physical
disk space, which means the quantity of blocks they would want to keep can
vary with

While I like the idea of a client using a DHT blockchain or UTXO list, I
don't think that the reference client is the place for it. But it would
make for a very interesting experimental project!
