Some people think it’s a database, that happens to store financial information.

but did the 12 years limit prevent something?

I don’t think I understand the 12 year limit.

Personally I don’t mind hosting information related to some else’s transactions. I’ve forecasted and I run the hardware to host the whole chain for a few years. Including spam, and most people that care about Bitcoin and run a node can definitively do the same.

My point is related to the purity of Bitcoin as money, probably unachievable.

But it’s frustrating when transactions fees spike and most of the blocks data is not financial records.

IDK 🪿

thats all valid.

but i never saw a solution to the core 30 update.

its coming anyway or is there a chance core just folds it?

i dont see how this is still possible

You can run core and not upgrade. I won’t.

thats also an option

but i would like to know how this then effects my lightning node

I don’t run LN.

then you can just run knots if you dont like data on the blockchain!

but is it really that easy?

I run both, I’m a data hoarder.

Yes, it’s easier because I’m lazy and didn’t put the work on self hosting LN services.
