i may need to be educated here, but can I do the initial download and verification without having to fetch the entire 4mb of data for the blocks that are full of inscriptions?
Discussion
Full of inscriptions it’s 4mb, if people were actually transacting it’s closer to 1.3. Ultimately it’s just 4M*WU*, measuring in mb is useless.
Real transactions take a lot more resources for a full node to process than inscriptions, the costing is (roughly) correct here.
