Additionally there is the proof chain, which is relatively small, but grows over time.
Do you know how I can download this 'proof chain' with the whole transaction history? Thanks.
The "proof chain" essentially consists of block headers without transaction information. See
this explanation.
There is a regularly updated full blockchain snapshot in the
OP of this thread. (
This one is from 2018-04-02).
I'm still curious about this test we had to do, about elastic and efectivness of network.
Me too. In the next days I'll resync the wallet and then we could fix a date for the tests. It would be cool, however, to set up a testnet for that - I don't know if this is easy or not, maybe someone of the devs and veterans can help.
PoW at some point imo should be phased out what do you think?
I think that would mean a
major rewrite as XCN doesn't use PoS at all, as far as I know.
