Bitcoin Questions You Were Too Afraid To Ask: "Is there a mechanism to prevent all nodes from pruning?"

Sadly, I've been shunned. But I will spend my fortune shitposting.
@292
What’s the mechanism that keeps old books at the library? If they aren’t used anymore, the data can be offloaded onto other storage services. Also, if everyone else pruned except you, you’re the richest person on earth, so sell pre-synced nodes to people.
No, just economics. Maybe try just acting like yourself and not an annoying WSB caricature. There are already 9 million retards acting like annoying assholes, we don't really need another.
Any other Q’s?
It was a binary question. The answer is NO
Can't imagine why you would be shunned with such a lovely personality.
ever try to sync a pruned node? what happens if they all prune? show me an example where all nodes are pruned but Bitcoin still works.
Profit motive is a mechanism. The answer is yes.
jealous of my massive cock? hah. probably not. but balls of steel.
Reread my previous statement. You can’t sync a pruned node.
super fuzzy... strong kool-aid. i've tried it.... blows your head off.
refernce to Mooseblood on "Bee Movie" no heads were actually blown.
Could you please answer in binary form.
"Mooseblood : I'm going to Alaska. Moose blood. Crazy stuff! Blows your head off."
So you’d rather have a central authority demanding maintenance of the fill ledger rather than having market actors keep it because of incentives?
Maybe you should look into being a prison guard.
No
Sell that one to your board members.... and look at BNB and projects migrating to it. And ask yourself again.k...
Are you shilling me BNB at all time highs? Come on now!
I shill you not.
Investment advice: sync up a full copy of the ledger and maintain it forever. Sell copies to Fortune 50 companies that are trying to figure out how to mine in ten years.
I can literally guarantee that no publicly traded company or government entity would store data on a chain that ONLY has PROFIT as an incentive not to prune. Or at least ensure that X number of complete sets exist before pruning.
again, ever try to sync a pruned node that is fucked?
I know it’s a nightmare.
Then, there’s your business model. Widely distributed several full copies and act as a highly connected guarantor of the full ledger. Act as a party to every big contract. You’re welcome.
Thank you for your time today. Let me try something...

You can make legal agreements with data service providers to not delete your data and/or you can keep it yourself
The purpose of it distributed is for robustness, so it is widely seen, & micropayments. You still need contracts & law
I enjoyed this
I'm here to help.
its a good question
Thank you 🙏🏻
Am I annoying you? Would you just rather autofellatio and soon yourself?
No there is not. It’s all incentives. Archiving it fully is cheap tho, and once if it becomes expensive, it will be incentives again that will maintain at least one full copy of it. I used IBM tape robot it’s slower but practically infinite space.
Board members frowned on the IBM tape robot. They wanted to make sure data was accessible when they needed it. Not when your WORM drive decide to wake up from its slumber.
You have all kind of solutions sir. Mek Bort Gib moni, I can stack 256 isilons in one cluster, or full flash 3pars, or even community run gluster. Archarchive I shall always hab even if bort is cheap.
I think I love you.
ditto
hi craig
happy new year
Doesnt look like it worked, better try like a heap of different names.
Can you give me a call voice real quick?
Nah, im making sandwichs. Could take awile.
shit, i'm switching to the fart mask.
NO
Smart sequel: Will the miners prune?
YES, they will prune everything that makes no economic sense to keep
I never paid to sync my node. How do miners make money after the blocks are won and fees are paid? Storing the historic side of the ledger seems very uneconomical. Pay for reads?
Yearly fees to keep from pruning?
you can only prune once you full-sync. you'd think it'd be as easy as a check for X number of fully sync'd peers before allowing a prune to occur on a node. But I'm not a big brain.
If you cannot envision it, I think you will have to wait and see, or someone else here will be kind enough to take the time to explain it to you.
i don't like surprises
Or let me be kind enough to say that you confuse finances-trons with electrons. I have absolutely no fucking interest in storing your onchain data after it's written. Pretend "unknown" is a single pool for the sake of the argument.
