If I ever run a cryptocurrency node, it will be something like #MinaProtocol node, because it doesn't require huge space to run (and, in theory, can even be fully placed into RAM: I wonder how their browser-based node PoC will work although I'm not a fan of putting workloads into browsers).

Because even with Monero, we're talking ~70GB in the _pruned_ mode as of now. That's definitely not what it should look like.

Also, I don't know why O1Labs chose a dialect of TypeScript for their Mina zkApps (it's a terrible choice IMO, even worse than vanilla JS) but the node codebase itself is written in OCaml which I highly respect. Maybe will return to it myself unless I find any decent replacement working on both Linux and OpenBSD (spoiler: Myrddin doesn't fully work on OpenBSD anymore).
