this is why we wanted small blocks; imagine if blocks were 8MB or 32MB π

Omggg I wishhhhhhh!!! Does it really need to be this big ?
The start is huge. The pruning is happening later. The blockchain is like 500Gb.
The pruning happens as you validate; otherwise youβd be forced to store the entire thing at IBD and then prune to the size you want to keep which would defeat the purpose of pruning (ability to run a node with minimum storage requirements)
