You can't.  Not everyone will be running a pruned node.  Of course you already knew the answer.

And we're back at this, ahem, "trusted" archive nodes business...


If your 'stash' is sufficient value then you have a very strong incentive to pay the minimal cost of keeping your node unpruned.

So I get to waste bandwidth on every derp that figures keeping blocks around is unnecessary?
And I'm supposed to keep doing that when blocks become increasingly large?


A new node bootstraps by contacting 100 random nodes.

Directly?


Full unpruned nodes will be maintained by decentralist ideologues like myself

Special, as in Ralph Wiggum special.
