Just pushed the template for Arguments 3, 4, 6, and a full Argument 2.
Argument 5 should be pro, but is currently not defined. Argument 6 may be
merged with Argument 4 if you think that's necessary.

Nothing to apologize for. And yes, that's the correct one.

Also, can we try to get a wiki page for the debate? That way we could
condense the information as much as possible. I'll be willing to assist if
the page gets approval.

Sync time wouldn't be longer compared to 20MB, it would (eventually) be
longer under either setup.
Also, and this is probably a silly concern, but wouldn't changing block
time change the supply curve? If we cut the rate in half or a power of two,
that affects nothing, but if we want to keep it in
But don't you see the same trade-off in the end there? You're still
propagating the same amount of data over the same amount of time, so unless
I misunderstand, the costs of such a move should be approximately the same,
just in different areas. The risks as I understand are as follows:
20MB:
This is exactly the sort of solution I was hoping for. It seems this is the
minimal modification to make it work, and, if someone was willing to work
with me, I would love to help implement this.
My only concern would be if the - - max-size flag is not included than this
delivers significantly les
I suppose this begs two questions:
1) why not have a partial archive store the most recent X% of the
blockchain by default?
2) why not include some sort of torrent in QT, to mitigate this risk? I
don't think this is necessarily a good idea, but I'd like to hear the
reasoning.

0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 6 can be solved by looking at chunks chronologically. Ie,
give the signed (by sender) hash of the first and last block in your range.
This is less data dense than the idea above, but it might work better.
That said, this is likely a less secure way to do it. To improve upon that,

Hi,
There's been a lot of talk in the rest of the community about how the 20MB
step would increase storage needs, and that switching to pruned nodes
(partially) would reduce network security. I think I may have a solution.
There could be a hybrid option in nodes. Selecting this would do the
