apparently "full archival nodes" are on the way out. they simply won't exist anymore at a certain point other than maybe you can find a service that will let you look at old history if you pay. that's what i heard...
and there goes the "decentralised blockchain" principle.. sold out to the highest paying central point of failure corporation
i'm not the one that said it franky. you might be surprised who did though. and it might not be who you thought.
i know you hear things from idiots..
but although explorers do show history FOR FREE. amd although being a full node is still cheap. i do understand why your idiot mentor has $$$ on his mind of making people need to pay for everything as a service.. funny part is though your mentor is promoting capitalist ideals while he himself isnt profiting from the promotions. he HOPES one day someone will recognise his ass kissing and will pay him. but after 6 years he is still penny pinching sig-campaigns so its not likely they will hire him as an official PR guy. so learn from his mistakes.. ass kissing wont make you wealthy

all this information is a simple google search away. dare yourself to seek it
it's not necessarily the answers that are the hard thing to find it is knowing what questions to ask in the first place. you act like it is easy to google search something but search for what?
Cunning and opportunistic, certainly. Genius might be a bit of a stretch, though. The things he builds are seemingly rather wasteful and slipshod in nature.
agreed. he's kind of a real oddity.
