Title: local blockchain : can segwit do something ?
Post by: Meuh6879 on June 30, 2017, 09:46:52 PM
Hello,

After the Segwit activation ... can developpers have think about a other (new) system to store and create the local blockchain for full node ?

For the actual size of 142Go, i mean.
I don't want prune my full node.

Segwit is a scaling solution and any effect it might have on blockchain storability will be negligable.

But may I ask, why is it that you dont want to prune your full node. As far as I know it has the exact same functionality of a full node and it has removed a lot of the blockchain history to reduce storage costs.
