Hi all,
I'm trying to run a bitcoin node (satoshi 0.11) in pruning mode. If I want to keep the blockchain size at 30gb, should I just restart bitcoind with the command 'bitcoind -prune=30000' ?
Cheers,
John

Also, is there any benefit in running a pruned node? Would that still contribute to the bitcoin network as a whole?

You still verify and relay transactions. Other nodes can no longer get block from you though, at least for now. You can also add prune=30000 to the bitcoin.conf file. |
Im not really here, its just your imagination.

Note that only the blocks component of the database can be chosen, so -prune=30000 is specifying the size of that portion only. I'm not sure if the rest of the database remains the same size or grows at a tiny rate, not familiar with running in pruned mode long-term.

If you run git master (to be 0.12 later) instead of 0.11 you will also relay new blocks as they are found while pruning. |

Did somebody already create an address index patch (UTXO and mempool) that is working in pruned mode?

Never mind, I got it working now. Gonna find the time to update it to 0.12 next.  |

No idea, but the relay block service is active now with the latest git master. |
