Somehow my database got corrupted. Re-downloading the blockchain. 36 hours in and I am up to around 90k.
This isn't meant to be as negative as it might sound but just got me thinking out loud.. Wonder if one could sell HUC styled flash drives with the latest block "as of x" then have it mailed out.
Obviously with pruning and other possibilities, this is moot.
HUC-styled USBs might be on the books, but filling them with the latest blocks would only partially put off the blockchain problem, and a very inefficient remedy at that too. I'd rather use the USBs as a pure promotional piece rather than a tool. Pruning is at the top of Snailbrain's priorities for the coin anyway, I should assume.
