Good job on the pruned JoinMarket node(!) I assume you compiled your own version of Core with the wallet enabled?
Thanks! I did compile myself, but I didn't have to change anything. Wallet was already re-enabled on the development sources, I think.
I'm more worried about people who desire privacy (those doing repeated coinjoins again and again) and how they would manage. Bitcoin Core with a fully downloaded blockchain is the most private way of using things but it required 40gb+ of free hard disk space.
Yes, I fully agree. The required disk space (although everyone usually just says "disk is cheap, bandwidth is the problem") would have required me to upgrade to a
much more expensive VPS plan. It only really works, though, if you have another node with full chain ready for importing addresses as necessary.
