only difference?
you forgot the lack of being a seeder to other peers for their IBD
No, I didn't. Lack of being a seeder
is less services.
if there is a hack. the fullnode checks the blockchain hashes and if the data matches, the blocks do not get rejected and so life continues
Alright, so what prevents the hacker from changing your Bitcoin client binaries and not do what you're saying? If we're going to examine what happens in a scenario where a malicious person reaches our computer, I can provide many arguments why having a full non-pruned node or not won't matter security-wise.
i know you dont believe in blockchains and you are trying hard to drive people not to use blockchains.
I know you see everyone biasedly, but that's okay. You can't hurt me without my permission.
he didnt mention which software he had and i didnt ask
It doesn't matter. What matters is that you
can run a pruned node and have the entire UTXO set. You can verify everything and not keep everything.
If im not mistaken when the pruning mode is enabled you can chose the amount of data to keep ( eg 2gb ) so it seems incompatible in the principle to being able to keep everything with a fixed space didnt seem to me it was keeping all the chainstate but maybe im wrong.
You weren't wrong. It isn't fixed the data it stores. The chainstate gets bigger during syncing.
