Pruning FAQ
Q: How does pruning affect functionality?
A: The only inherent functional limitation of AEON's pruning is the inability to restore (also known as rescan) a wallet which was used for spending transactions. All other functionality including sending and receiving coins, mining, updating a wallet after any period of inactivity, cold storage, mining, etc. remain fully supported.
I think this part may no longer be correct. I implemented a work-around for the issue, meaning that even old wallets
should sync correctly even against a pruned node. Has anyone tested this and can report either way?
Arux tested this and confirmed that the limitation is still there. I had implemented a partial workaround (for cold storage or inactive wallets) but it does not apply if the wallet was actively used for spending.
