... This however does require still downloading all 110+ GB ...
With an UTXO commitment in the block header it would not be necessary to always download the complete blockchain to bootstrap a new node.
Does a node not always need to be complete sinyced? Meaning downloading the whole blockchain?
I think it is very interstning that satoshi has some code in there not being active.
No. That is not at all what this thread is about. Satoshi came up with an idea in the whitepaper, but his idea specifically was never implemented.
So to sum this up: the diskspace is currently not checked on the core github source? Or did i understand it wrong?
Again, you are completely missing the point of this thread. This thread has nothing to do with Core checking disk space but rather whether a specific feature is implemented in Core. Anyways, Core does tell you if you are running out of space to store the blockchain. However it cannot tell you whether you have enough disk space because that would imply it knows the actual size of the blockchain, and the only way to do that is by downloading the whole thing.
Oh ok thank you. Maybe satoshi will return in a few years
