The time to synch a Bitcoin node is going to drop to seconds, and the memory required for the entire UTXO set is going be compressed to kilobytes – and you will be very happy.

The significance of these projects cannot be overstated. Protect the devs working on this black magic.

ZeroSync and Utreexo 🔥

"there will be flying cars" moment? 🤪🤔

Bur these things already exist ;)

Technically syncing time can already be measured in seconds, too 😉

Do they solve fraud proofs?

anyone lose monero when their windows machine restarted during a syncing? asking for a friend.

never was able to recover that monero that may or may not have been mined. ;) oh well, maybe the irs can get it back when I get audited. lol

Wouldn't you rather keep the security that the longer initial block download time affords?

does this mean we can increase the block size now😂

Will be good for the node network, meaning we can have either more nodes ore more on-chain resources, such as L1 space.

Who is it

To me, the priorities are keeping trash and bloat out of the #Bitcoin #blockchain. Garbage like #ordinals #inscriptions #nfts etc. That's my priority.

Maybe also getting rid of #TapRoot. Which seem to be more trouble than it's worth..💀🤔

Thank you Calle, very cool!

Can this be utilised for #Monero?

I don't see why not. I can't give any technical details how it would specifically work for Monero though...maybe we should start the conversation about it
