Pruning nodes are described in the sourcecode thusly:
-prune=<n>
: Reduce storage requirements by pruning (deleting) old blocks. This mode is incompatible with-txindex
and-rescan
.
I’ve watched that my node has been consistently uploading less than it has been downloading since I set it to run in pruning mode.
- What services do pruning nodes still perform?
- Do they upload blocks and transactions?
- Can they service thin clients?
- What can a pruning node not do, that a non-pruning node does?
