Just curious , has the bitcoin core pruning feature -prune been ported to namecoin ? This allow to run nodes with minimal hard disk requirement
We are now stay in sync with Bitcoin. I don't know if anybody has yet tried pruning. With the Namecoin blockchain still being way smaller it is a lower priority and we rather want to go towards SPV.
I agree with phelix that pruning is much less important for Namecoin than for Bitcoin. It should, however, work "out of the box" the same way as it does for Bitcoin. (But I've not tried it so far.)
