Blockchain size is big. Bitcoin really is in use already.
Are there algorithms for blockchain pruning? (and planned implementations?) Please send me links, or simple description... for example:
"A simple blockchain pruning:
Rules:
- current length of blockchain is N.
- length of blockchain will be maximised (M = approx. number of blocks of 2 years). An earlier blocks will be later (after the 2 years) dropped.
- Transactions in actual block (>N) will include the end-balance (balance after accepting the actual block) of addresses too.
After 2 years (K = N + M) will pruning begin. 2 years should be enough to inform everybody."
Thanks in advance.
