So, storage is probably the biggest concern for Bitcoin self hosted nodes, at least full nodes is that the storage requirements might outpace what general consumers usually have or require. I don't think it'll be an issue for the capability we have in manufacturing larger hard drives, but it'll be what is available to the general consumer at a decent price, which the lesser demand probably means a lot of people could be out priced. Thoughts?
It's valid concern, but IMO time for initial block download (IBD) is bigger concern. I expect some people who interested to run full node discourage time for IBD could take some time.
Edit: My bad.
You're right. I hadn't ever tried it, to be honest, but I thought it would work. Could you explain me why a pruned node can't index all the transactions? The
blocks/index is less than 40 GB and it could be used if one wanted to run an SPV server.
First of all, how do you index transaction which isn't exist on your device? Block which contain transaction
s already pruned/removed.
